"Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream. By Khalil Gibran"

I'm going over yesterday for meaning.
Due to the wind, the tall grass may be leaning. 
A ray of light shone through the shadow.
Some vigil plus a sunlit moor or meadow.

Don't waste time testing events of yesterday.
Pinpoint the now and find happiness today.
Hold the door ajar; it's not over for the day.
Yesterday currently owes me tomorrow's pay.

I sinned and should be ashamed to the bone. 
An absence of noise framed the eerie tone. 
A fresh day has dawned with the fresh sun.
Don't allow past faults to slur you and run.

Raise a glass to your own reflection on the wall.
Drink quickly; you may be the past spirit to fall.
Our love is the only thing that will not decay.
It does not have a tomorrow or a yesterday.

Time isn't something you can run from or halt.
Your age will fall with each day of your default.
Yesterday's hands spite your past years ago.
It is, however, a specter of your tomorrow.

Is closing a door akin to unlocking a novel one? 
Hold the door for a while! Show me tomorrow.
A minute before I waste today on casino fun.
As I gaunt it yesterday, it will be lost to sorrow.

My peers viewed it all throughout the years.
Endpoints and starting paths, as well as tears
In times of grief, they were an oasis of solace.
and I provided comfort at some time and place.

Time appears as if sifting through an hourglass.
Relying on a clock can show a date or time, alas.
It involves becoming an adult and getting older.
a way to feel fierce joy or grief on the shoulder.

The sand gradually trickles at a sluggish speed.
It leads one to opine that its flow will last indeed.
This plethora of free time makes input feasible.
Relish yourself with your friends when possible.
