the absurdity of tomorrow

Post by saw » September 26th, 2020, 10:28 am

tomorrow I'm going.........................
gonna make some big changes,
acknowledge the clarity
in the folly of my cumbersome truth,
but not today

today is a time of striking reflection
counting shadowy life lines
in the eyes of impending storms,
a day to break away from
the latent kudzu that has crept around my ankles

tomorrow I'll set out
on a courageous new path, toss aside
the rusty chains of old habits,
make a simple downshift
to the slow world of blissful contentment

today is a day for planning
a day to line up all the ducks in rows
a day to imagine the lovely face of metamorphosis,
revel in the smile of her awaiting brilliance,
it will all be there in the dreamy company

of tomorrow

If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

The word

Reminds me of that horrid “ Annie “ song
Love you tommorow- just a day away
I have heard that what is most absurd that I expect
Everything to be all right Bob Marley
Never could tolerate musicals

However
The best way to let it happen
Is not to give it much thought
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

orphans sing silly songs
orange haired daddy warbucks crows
like a big fat rooster
all cock-proud and full of hot air
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
