In the History of the Next Day

in the history of tomorrow
lies a mystery meant to be unknown
no one will ever know it
for it will lie in the next day
and the next day, we look
for its secrets but we just find 
the history of its existence,
of its remnants,
of its life
how do we know 
what lies in the next day
if today is where we are
how many times must we 
read it until we 
figure out
we cannot 
see beyond tomorrow
we cant even see truly today
tough we are an existence
what is our meaning but
to live to see tomorrow?
