Today

I live

soaking in the moment

absorbing my here and now

inhaling, exhaling the present.

ooo

Today

The sun sets, melting into

a thousand hues

bidding today

a sweet farewell

and as darkness descends

I dream.

ooo

Tonight

I dream of the past.

Dreams so convincing,

so real and so true

upon my awaking

I must feel my heart beating,

and feel myself breathing

to I know I’m okay.

ooo

And tonight

I dream of you.

Dreams so convincing,

so real and so true

upon my awaking

I look for you -

and you’re not there.

ooo

Tonight

dreams of the past are pulsing

emotion through my veins

and reminders of you

stay long after my eyelids flutter

back into sleep.

ooo

But tomorrow

the sun will rise, melting into a thousand hues

bidding tonight

a sweet farewell

and as dawn will emerge

I will awaken

with a life to be lived.
