Tomorrow

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

Have you heard of Tomorrow?

I have

Have you ever met Tomorrow?

I got introduced to her today

Have you seen Tomorrow?

I have

Believe me when I say, “She is absolutely beautiful”

Her poise is unique and rare

She is proud but graceful

Not too many people get to see her

Just the chosen ones

She has a smile that can light up the day of men, women and children

Her white teeth

So clear you can see yourself at a hundred years old

I really love everything about her

But she speaks to no one

Never does she say a word

Some say she is dumb

But I believe she chooses not to speak

I guess it’s part of her unique nature

Another strange thing I noticed is that…

…she rarely blinks

Some say a blink holds a thousand sad tales

Hmm…I told you, she is unique!

I also noticed that she never moves

She stands firm and speaks not

Another unique characteristic of hers

I just hope her feet don’t hurt her so much

Maybe her feet are made of titanium

And then I heard a rumor…

…they say, “She is submissive only to a Higher power

And if she ever moves, she will be gone forever

All will live in the now

No tomorrow

Just yesterday

Just now”

Well, that’s a rumor!

Not my cup of tea

I’m too excited I met her

It’s time for me to live in my now

I’m glad Tomorrow is beautiful

I look forward to seeing her again

So long!

Till we meet again

Sprinklers

I think I might let the sprinklers come on

But I love the grass dry

Emotions can be overwhelming

Yet strength can be drawn divinely

I’ve traveled far

I’ve searched for the sun

Oh! So many paths I have walked

Around and around I walked

A wave at the sea

I’ve said hello to deserts

Yet it always seemed like a mirage to me

Once I caught a glimpse of the sunlight

I fell in love with the sunlight

I loved the warmth

I cherished its presence

But so unfortunate for me

The sunlight vanished in 360 ways

I felt lost

Oh! I felt so lost in the dark

Silly me got too carried away by a light so unreal

Its absence dropped a blanket of darkness

Hmmm…I almost gave up on hope

Still I refuse to let the sprinklers come on

I’m standing tall and grounded like a cedar tree

Cos deep in my heart

I know it will be ok

Yes…tomorrow always has its blessings
