Tomorrows

*** TOMORROWS *** These thoughts begin composed (“adagio ma non troppo”) With a happy, a peaceful heart’s tempo, Assured the nature of Imminent or distant tomorrows, Is woven in vibrant colors to allure — Very like inspired verses, With a soul’s knowing, a soul’s melody… For even God, The holy I AM Kept His days — His proceding creativity’s paced plan …With its tomorrows held Open for His any needed intervening Powers and graces (“allegro”) Behold! The days come. They come Over horizons We live and witness (“allegro”) ……..Thence, too, According to God — By many miracles and through His covenant concluding The Great Flood….Showing His promises in a rainbow’s arched reach Across the sky…And,as in our time, (“crescendo”) A thousand ravens hover And we imagine they wait to prey o’er each Of our tomorrows, but they stay distant, Unseen. — For humanity, as time continues… With its tempos’ flowing Of rising sun by day and moon By night…The dawns stir Fully into tomorrows. In Asia, “tempos” may mean, “(brought or gone via) 3-legged carts,” (“largo”) Which might well define My own aged years’ decline As I greet Tomorrows: with Breath by faith… And new days with actions of meaning. ———————————————————— Matthew 6:25 “…Is life not more than food. and the body more than clothing?”————————- *** Written inspired to pen my annual Birthday Poem, as i age & i am more thankful, while much more challenged.

"— For humanity, as time continues… With its tempos’ flowing Of rising sun by day and moon By night…The dawns stir Fully into tomorrows." Absolutely beautiful! Great writing.

Poetry that offers happiness in the present and the future. Our thoughts naturally wander to the past and the future as we age. Wonderfully said, Sally. A thousand crows seem to be flying around above us, and we can't help but think that they are starting to wolf down every one of our upcoming.

A poem blissful in today and tomorrows. As we age we ruminate in thoughts of past and future. A thousand ravens hover and we imagine they wait to prey o’er each of our tomorrows--so well said, Sally.

Many happy returns. We age true, but God is always with us.
