Chasing Tomorrow
veiled with hopes and dreams
visions of butterflies and streams
expansive mountains block the way
along with pain called yesterday
yet I shall climb this endless trail
never stopping, afraid to fail
illusions of progress is what I see
climbing downhill hath been my reality
never one to accept the truth
I struggle on in search of proof
over the horizon is where it lies
mirages of tomorrow within my eyes
renewed vigor quickens my pace
against the clock I begin to race
yesterday was passed along the way
and yet tomorrow is still today......
