Teetering On the Brink

I stand on the brink of tomorrow’s joys Listening to the whispering of a gentle mist Kissing the breezes as they come my way, Mulling over how I spent this awesome day, Wondering how much was clamoring noise Echoing through a preoccupied mind I missed, And trying to recall why I came here to stay Mulling over how I spent this awesome day. I peer over the edge at tomorrow’s ploys In my mind reviewing this remarkable list Of plans laid over, huge lumps of pliable clay, Mulling over how I spent this awesome day, Teetering on the brink, clutching my poise, Between today and tomorrow an unseen twist In my attitude, so casual, come-what-may Mulling over how I spent this awesome day.

Thanks, Caren. I was experimenting with an interesting rhyme scheme and refrain. I think it worked out rather well.
