Tomorrow
Ah, the Sphinx-like mysteriousness
Of tomorrow. While not promised
An invitation to new discoveries and epiphanies
Zest for lifers, optimists, idlers all await
With breathless anticipation
Tomorrow, like death and taxes, is inevitable
Auspicious. It's fragrance more potent
Than a whiff of sandalwood. It tastes as sweet
As honey on your tongue. An hors d'oeuvre
To more palatable opportunities to come
Nights are filled with dreams
And sustained longing for a more
Prosperous tomorrow. New challenges
Abound, both exciting and daunting
For the young and old
Yet another day to be grateful for being
Alive and rich in spirit. Yet another day
To try once more when the battle
Of today is lost. Yet another day to feel
The soft zephyr on your skin
All that tomorrow promises
Are forever etched in stone. Birds will sing
There will be blooming flowers to marvel at
The glorious sun will set in the eventide
A galaxy of stars will litter the sky
No matter how dire the trials and tribulations
No matter how high the summit of adversity
No matter how low the spirit; when the good
Fight is defeated today, it resumes the next day
As Scarlett O'Hara says..."After all, tomorrow is another day"
