For Tomorrow
Posted: January 7th, 2006, 1:11 pm
what is tomorrow
but the next sunrise
that happens
over and over again
in a never-ending dance
tomorrow is not the future
but the inevitable -
that ceaseless spin
of our geode home
in a presence of now
that does what it will
our futures are only
our next generation
of questioning beings
asking what? where?
when? and why?
who among us
but we mortals
with questions
asking for answers
seek a future
from the questions
that form from the
ethers that impale
our lives in mystery
we regard
we dis-regard
we promise
we lie
we protect
our egos
from the reality
of now
in seeking a future
that will only die
as those that
came before in
marched steps
toward that
one more sunrise
but same endless
pattern performed
today until tomorrow
but the next sunrise
that happens
over and over again
in a never-ending dance
tomorrow is not the future
but the inevitable -
that ceaseless spin
of our geode home
in a presence of now
that does what it will
our futures are only
our next generation
of questioning beings
asking what? where?
when? and why?
who among us
but we mortals
with questions
asking for answers
seek a future
from the questions
that form from the
ethers that impale
our lives in mystery
we regard
we dis-regard
we promise
we lie
we protect
our egos
from the reality
of now
in seeking a future
that will only die
as those that
came before in
marched steps
toward that
one more sunrise
but same endless
pattern performed
today until tomorrow
