Yesterday

Yesterday, as dawn rose over Diamond Head All the trees remained in silk screen silhouette as My furrowed brow expressed in my features Troubles that had yet to materialize, yet how real they Seemed, how surreal my vision of the loss. So I cast my net to keep from entering too deep, Far enough to keep the fears at bay, far Away from the harsh hemp at noon day. Now, as sunlight seeps through misty clouds It feels surreptitiously suspicious as in nature; Looks as if the clouds are gathering gloom, As if they are purposely trying to conceal, Though in their dark grey, a rainbow. They're moving fast upon the current. Here below as in the sky, they cry To release in their wet, a catharsis which helps me Stay centered on a path leading toward the light. Oh how I love the freedom the rain expresses. I love the musical sound, the serene scent. Believe you have the courage to overcome and In doing so, the power of the heavens will erase Yesterday, and flood today with sublime sunshine.
