Yesterday

Yesterday wafts softly down as this days echo fades All but hushed to whisper by time’s ever binding glue My dreams this night will richly form and dance between the two Troubles displayed within my mind without the albatross of time Seem now to be soliloquy from some angst left behind So thin this veil which clouds these fears Far moved from truth as dawn appears Away cool sleep and move this play from long ago forgotten tears Now bright as day my thoughts do sway It seems to me so far away Looks as if the light has played, embalmer to the night’s foray As yesterday now locks it’s door Though with some mild chagrin They're foolish all who would ignore Here lies the keeper’s spin To yesterday there are still ways to tweak you from behind Stay gently present or you’ll drift with rearward fettered mind Oh, think not back or you will feel, this specter from the dark I think it triggers off some long thought vanquished spark Believe this as you close your eyes In some subconscious stream Yesterday waits quick to pounce as night includes your dream
