What Tomorrow Brings

Into the evening I walk and see The setting sun just ahead of me. With wandering mind, simple thought, I think of all that I’ve been taught. The day awakes and then resigns Showing all its earthly signs. It’s here forever, but gone in a day. Days will come back, but will we stay? We are but tenants upon the dirt, Sharing life, with death we flirt. One day we shall be within The dirt we stand on, shedding skin. Our souls or spirits, or whatever you say Will be the presence to see the new day. But, in our minds, deplete of thought We won’t remember one thing we’ve been taught. So eagerly, now, I see what is true. The sun tells me now what to do. Walk through the days, yes, but with reason And we will live to see new seasons. Spread the truth and see the light And we will live to enjoy the nights. Share your thoughts and say kind things, We’ll then see what tomorrow brings.
