Today is Tomorrow, Yesterday is Just Ahead

By Sean Mc Shane

Today I will dive into the future's dream . . .

cut thru the currents, so irrelevant
as soon as it gets there, there I went
before the breakdown, of timeless age
I'll feel the spent spell of a lonely mage
the flow will maintain a steadier stop
until the obvious sinks to a forgotten top

Tomorrow, the Sun will meet the Moon for the first time again . . .

you'll know I haven't moved too far
coming full circle around a golden star
I'll hold your hand as night takes the dawn
the cosmic line we cross before it's been drawn
we'll be light years away on our way back
twilight shines in glory before the fade to black

You can count all your Yesterdays before your birth

Do you follow me here Love ?
just close my eyes while you look above
the Earth holds many secrets under Her sea 
the never-could-be will always be for you and me
our existence has yet to take form
hear something new in the dreaded norm

Try not to lose what I said . . . 
 
Today is tomorrow,
Yesterday is just ahead

    Living in the past comes to mind, but then too that is the source of wisdom (or should be) - learning from our mistakes, or in this case maybe hoping for a do-over? Cheers Sean, well done!

    Just......Damn!! You had me at to-yester-morrow-day! This is an awesome write. I imagine if there were a way to perfectly describe existence in a time rift....you just nailed it! The play on words intertwining past, present, and future as one time frame was mind boggling! And you made it look so easy. Hats off to you, MUCH enjoyed this work. Thanks for posting it.
