Notes About The Poem

For Borrowed Words contest sponsored by Crystol Woods

Borrowed Words

In the labyrinth of life one walks winding path
Full of triumph, trials, turquoise tears, lime laughs
If you believe in John Lennon’s yellow yesterday
You may embrace the rear view mirror reminiscing 
And possibly miss the most beautiful moments
Like the rise of a Phoenix sun or 
It’s setting like a fireball rolling down green hills
Like the marriage of mother moon
Pregnant in unknown black galaxies 
To the silvery stars that call a poet’s heart
These vibrant views are nice in a photo
But in the present they are priceless 
Worthy of undivided attention and respect
Lennon believed in yesterday but
“ Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”
