Blossom of fruit trees
strewn around the orchard
subtle hues of pink and white
shot through with purple

Seeing it reminds me that
like the fruit trees so do 
each of us in our own way
blossom as we pass through 

Blossom starts as a tiny bud
then through the months
opens up flooding the world
with vibrant scent and colour

Just like that tender bud
we open our minds to the new
and flower for all to see
staying true to ourselves 

So when you see the blossom
keep in your mind the thought
for you to flourish and bloom
you must live and strive for fruition

Live each day as if your last
spend no time in past regrets
move on and keep climbing ladders
stretch up and reach for the stars 

Do not squander your time here
march boldly on into the future
let not adversity hold you back
laugh in it's face as you pass

Many times you may be tempted
to sit back and take it easy
sloth only grows in strength
so easy to put things off

Tomorrow never comes, so onward
battle now with all your might
remember as you live your life
each new day is adventure waiting

I went with the Creative Process and referred to blossoms as they for fill their life

As I Lay Myself To Sleep

 As I lay myself to sleep in the dusk of my heart,the wintry sky still shines 

Luna streams its porcelain glow through my bedroom blinds

It pours honeycombed warmth in these  almond eyes

And its there that I think of him,a soft sweet descent on my pillow case

a golden  tint of  firefly's radiance cascading  gently upon the velvets  of my face

It is there that I ache for him to fall once more

 like last  fading stars in the desert of my arms

It is there where his fingerprints mark  these forgotten lips

and his  lavender kiss embraces  every inch of my slight curved hips

But when the night is over,like a dewlushed leaf in early breeze

He is swept away...So far far away

So far too gone to utter words I so wanted to say


...And with every  breaking dawn tired footsteps  lead the path

to the old oak tree which  once witnessed  our dream

our shared peach,our holding hands,our blissful joy and distant tears

There,in the shade I sit alone but not in solitude

by a mossy  stone which owns  his name

Secretly I whisper to his soul uspoken thoughts  still kept at bay

'My only love,You are gone,but never gone

I might arrive late,but never too late

I feel your absence in my bones like cold air on a rainy day

But tomorrow, Somehow,Somewhere Spring-kissed  gardens

 bloom fresh blossoms by the promise of today.'



A revised and rewritten oldie...

Inspired by the song -'If tomorrow  never comes'

Premium Member Fear Lingering

What if tomorrow never comes
And leaves me frail alone and blue 
In my ear echoes sound of drums 
Life would be barren without you

My saddened heart could not construe
What if tomorrow never comes
In stormy skies where no birds flew 
Of love remaining merely crumbs

The melody my finger strums  
Where there were hearts that beat as two 
What if tomorrow never comes
Forsaken morning breaks in lieu

Unsung prayers shushed as taboo
Lingering fear that it becomes
What if this is naught but adieu
What if tomorrow never comes

Honest Silence

God will hear you even when your quiet.
At least you know he'll hear the truth.
Because most of the time he's not going to buy it.
Better you should just yank out every last tooth.

That double edged sword of kindness and contempt.
Can leave you bleeding when your not sure what they meant.
A glare of a stare, you just not sure if they care.
Leaves you wanting to ask but you just don't dare.

There's mystery behind a mask of unspoken lies.
It's his story, should you ask, he's sure to defy.
The answer is eternal and not of this earth.
Tomorrow never comes, and that's about what it's worth.

Unknown secrets beyond the realm that we live in today.
Where honest silence can't be heard no matter what you say.
A hidden void when your annoyed that keeps them guessing.
Smoke and mirrors and hidden fears, is it all just window dressing?

The Fading Light

Days have been dark, 
Times when depression struck,
Finding myself lost in sorrow
Not knowing, if I would live till tomorrow. 

What if, I died today? 
Would you still think of me everyday? 
If tomorrow never comes, 
Would you still remember my love for you? 

It seems like my road narrowing daily, 
Losing myself has become a norm. 
My heart has become a ticking bomb
Yet my heart still longs for your love 

I feel like giving in, 
Every night and day I get weak. 
Wishing you were next to me to bid goodbye. 
Maybe I'm exaggerating, maybe it is true 

I'm here waiting for you, to light my way.
For everyday it gets darker and harder, 
With no sign of peace coming my way, 
I wait, strongly believing that you will come 

As my body gets cold and dim. 
Hope escaping as every minute goes by. 
I gaze at the stars, with nothing not even faith
As I take my last breath, I wish you a goodbye

Premium Member Are we alive

We are told that God created us in his own image. If that is the case, we should all be
entities, as God was an entity.

I find myself asking, are we really alive or are we just shadows of the past looking into the
future?

They say that tomorrow never comes and yesterday is gone, so are we just in a loop not
going forward and unable to go back?

I don’t see how they say that our soul never dies. Do we then become an entity forever, to
be stuck in a time that has no beginning and no end?

We go through the act of living, but in reality, we are getting ready to die, moving closer to
becoming the entities that we were at the beginning.

So are we shadows of entities from the past, or are we the same entities that
have been around for thousands of years?

Will we ever disappear in a puff of smoke or will we just keep roaming this
earth, just changing how we look?

We will stand at a grave of a loved one and cry for someone who is not gone
but alive in some parallel universe as an entity just waiting to reappear as a
different entity.

Chasing rainbows

Chasing rainbows

When all hope just seems to fade,
When the darkness throws more shade,
When your heart can't catch a break,
Negativity you can't shake...no more


Bridge
Please look to me for comfort
Let me bring you comfort tonight

Chorus
Keep chasing rainbows...
Keep chasing rainbows...in the rain
Keep chasing rainbows
A hopeful distraction...from the pain
Keep chasing rainbows


When you pray a solemn prayer,
for another breath of air
When you only want your share,
of a hope that leads you to... somewhere


Bridge
Please look to me for comfort
Let me bring you comfort tonight

Chorus
Keep chasing rainbows...
Keep chasing rainbows...in the rain
Keep chasing rainbows
A hopeful distraction...from the pain
Keep chasing rainbows


When tomorrow never comes,
When you feel you've come undone
When you've lost what you had won
Now you're searching for someone...who cares.

Bridge
Please look to me for comfort
Let me bring you comfort tonight

Chorus
Keep chasing rainbows...
Keep chasing rainbows...in the rain
Keep chasing rainbows
A gentle distraction...from the pain

keep chasing rainbows
keep chasing rainbows repeat

K now

Yesterday is gone.

Tomorrow never comes.

Don't forget about your present.

Open that gift today.

Let go all your grudges,

Judgments,

Past mistakes,

Watch the route today makes.

Illusive Tomorrow,

The valiant foe.

Teasing us,

It'll never show,

It's yesterday's shadow.

Look to your present,

Go with the flow,

For NOW is the only time,

We truly know.

Don't fret the past,

Feel sorrow for tomorrow.,

Now is our gift,

The Present given.

You have permission,

Open it,

What's today's mission?

Listen to your intuition in,

This Roller-coaster ride of existence,

The only amusement park with no admission.

Premium Member Tomorrow

Tomorrow is a promise that was never meant to be
Tomorrow is a dream come true that only we can see
Tomorrow is the time we plan to spread our wings and fly
If we don't take those first steps now, our dreams will pass us by.

Tomorrow is the day when we start our lives anew
Tomorrow is the time when all the skies turn blue
Tomorrow is the reason that we hang onto our dreams
We need to start today to reach those goals it seems.

Tomorrow is a fleeting moment when our world comes all apart
Tomorrow is a passing glance as we give away our heart
Tomorrow is a triumph as we begin to touch the sky
If we keep waiting for tomorrow, we should hang our heads and cry.

Tomorrow is the horizon as the sun sinks into the sea
Tomorrow is the time when all our people will be free
Tomorrow is the time when we come charging from the gate
But tomorrow never comes for those who only sit and wait.
