Tomorrow

She wraps me like a gifted one without fore-substance 
and the only thing she knows is how to bring me time  
Hours and minutes become momentum measures of life     
as I cleave to the reason why they named her, "Today" 

Its because she knows no other way;
  
Night arrives and today sits on the roof of mind  
upon a pillow I head rest without worry or fear  
For tomorrow a sideline befriender, chats with moon  
and laughs with the stars. He knows that sooner or 
later she has to release her contingency
 
Tomorrow knows no other way;
   
Symmetry of life is such that it delivers what the other owns
Seasons collide into each other, humans couple heart to soul 
wild flowers co- exist, in twilight and in dawn 

We live in a mix and match world of dark to light
Chiaroscuro magic, of pure delight
Many a poet have pinned their hopes on daily tomorrows  
Befriend both and you will be happy as King and Queen
 
Love them equally for who and what they are  
The sun is an eye catcher the moon a dreamcatcher
Life is good if you believe in the cycle of a creative God
