YESTERDAY’S TOMORROW (in words and photo) — A Cheryl’s Pals Collab




YESTERDAY’S TOMORROW

By Barbara K

A Cheryl’s Pals Collab


I saw the future yesterday

even though the sun was hidden

behind skies of steely gray.

I saw the future yesterday

amid bubblegum thoughts

and the sailing moon,

within that lonely

and mysterious place

where tightly twisted

thoughts unfurl.


But I saw the future yesterday,

somewhere in that window

between the day and night,

unable to speak

nor wake

nor find the path to light,

lost and unable to find my way

to today from yesterday.

But I saw the future yesterday

as all at once

and without warning

or notice

or even a sound

my past, present and future

passed before my eyes

as I tried to capture them

before they got away,

my heart racing,

my mind reeling,

but that was yesterday.


Today . . . .

I heard the windchimes

sing through the morning mist;

today I saw the sun rise

over the mountains and beyond;

today blue skies have broken

through the gray of yesterday

as yesterday’s tomorrow

is here once more today.
