Tomorrow

Tomorrow One Day, I reached and sat on the highest peak that I could find. After arriving, I quietly celebrated with pride my great climb. After a while, I relaxed, looked all around, and reclined. Inhaling the crisp clean air, I was rested and feeling fine. Everywhere I looked, I was being captured by the tall pines. None by God could arrest and speak such peace to my mind. I was longing for Yesterday, supposing she would help me reach Tomorrow. For comfort, Yesterday sometimes uses a stone, and not always a soft pillow. I found Yesterday, although it was in a different state of mind, place, and sorrow. Yesterday was unlike anything I expected, because time had erased its lovely face. Yesterday had painted its own portrait, defying clarity and leaving so little trace. I had accomplished my goal; but it left me win less at the end of an emotional race. I was so overcome with tears, that I was forced to appeal to God for more grace. My great quest for Yesterday was much more than a ride down memory lane. She was much like Today, playing her part; and some things about her caused me a little shame. But thankfully, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, always seem to work together with God to ease the pain. 12012015(Part Fiction)(Contest, Any Poem, sponsor, Broken Wings)
