For A Better Tomorrow

and despair blows like a cold wind.
It rains, and rains, and rains.

Better Tomorrow
Burning sun departing
ember of its fire
graying
as autumn leaves
spent
and blown by wind
of confusion
obscuring clarity of truth
opacifying colors
muting sounds
masking fragrance
boredom of night
broken
by lumens
on windowsill of sky
waning moonlight
flickering of stars
as tremor of aging
before darkness of soul
without life
angels of night
raising gaze to Light
beyond the lights
inviting a return
to the Sun fire
burning stubble of fear
with peace and
hope
of a

A Better Tomorrow
No fighting crowds
No grabbing for food and drinks
No concerts no parties
Maybe an intimate evening with the dearest
Or the family
Surely deep inside my heart still hoping for
A big crowd in the street midnight
An overwhelming joy and a rejoicing countdown
And incredible fireworks
That can be seen from far
To ring in the new year 2022
Surely a

From Isolation Into Contemplation of a Better Tomorrow Part Two
From Isolation Into Contemplation Of A Better Tomorrow
Part Two
Spring had come amongst the eager popular trees
he walked the old trail with his arthritic knees,
thinking about ongoing life, wide open plains
angry sky above, promising a flood of rain.
Hearing river, melodic was its soothing roar
if only she was with him, life would be no bore
youth and

From Isolation Into Contemplation Of A Better Tomorrow,
Part One
When he rose that morn his old dog let out a bark
shaving he saw night's foray had left a slash-mark,
with smiling grin he recalled the glorious fight
how he felled his attacker with a mighty right.
Yes he thought, was fantastic to do such again
remembering days of youth, a

A Better Tomorrow
Love will be with you tomorrow
All your hardships will swallow
A better day will follow
No more sorrows
How wonderful it is
The future will come with a bliss
It’s God giving you a hug and kiss
All your worries are now dismissed
Knowing everything will be okay
The skies are no longer gray
You will

A Better Tomorrow
Goodness
Doing right things
Opportunity knocks
Sometimes when we least expect it
For one’s better angels
Allowing ways
To shine.
Virtue
A welcome trait
For high-minded living
Example for those we know who
Disregard their morals
Skirt the edges
Often.
Ethics
Will cultivate
An exemplary life
Of lasting proper behaviors
If conscientiously
Better living
Applied.
Conduct
Measuring our
Commitment fully to
A better world for tomorrow
And high-mindedness for
More love, justice
Today.

Better Tomorrow Part Three
Yes tired, messed and fired
Put work aside for a free morrow
distress from stress makes one tired
Awaiting descension of a day without sorrow.
Precipitance hits the tide of time
Filled with load of contrastive burden
Time did evolve with a different crime
Ages past all in a sudden
Thousand years turn a day
A day without sorrow never came
A sorrow in the

Better Tomorrow Part Two
Brain's busy, I'm feeling dizzy
Drops the pen for a leisured tomorrow
Creativity stretched to limit; I'm not being lazy
Continuity's road deadly and narrow
Inspiration didn't betray expectation
Leisure didn't fail my confidence
But it flew in another direction
Same entry but different emergence
I woke when originality went to bed
Should've tarried and get the work done
I survived sadly to see my

Better Tomorrow Part One
Gain he stole but pain is fading,
I'll give forgiveness in another morrow
The pathos now still boldly bidding
But the bellow to forgive, I feel below
Morrow came with a twisted blend
The eye of the cloud is painted red
My epistle to forgive I can't heaven send
My offender is now yonder led
Tomorrow here is not eternity
Not all will

A New Promise
I know the pain that burns within your heart
I know how betrayal and heartbreak hurt
I know that you should grieve away the loss
I know that I can comfort you in a time of remorse
But still morn,cry,grieve and release the pain
So that you will not loss your sanity and became insane
I know I

A Better Tomorrow
To have illusions of what should have been
And wander through the thorned brambles of time
To seek tomorrow can bring its own sin
When we forget mountains this day we climb
The wistful dreamer in the mind this day
Will allow the dream to slowly evolve
Although the darkest thought can bring dismay
The problems we face we can always solve
Lets

A Better Tomorrow
With all the restrictions I feel cooped up
I wish I was a bird, then I could fly
they ask us to stay home like good pups
then tell us 'wear a mask' or you will die
I know that if we pool as one we'll win
although the day feels long if

A Better Tomorrow
The future I believe we all shall see
is not a hopeful one, yet I will try
to think a bit optimistically!
For those of you who are afraid to die,
I write this message. There is hope beyond
this world with all its woes, and there is good
in many people. May the human bond
of friendship keep us strong in
