A Journey Into Yesterday
I think I’ve found my way
Into the past, into my yesterday.
But earth has come around
Many times, and I’ve found
My way, though it was bound
To be filled with the memories that play
Upon the stages my
Life has performed on, as the world that I
Live in turned from each past
Moment. It seemed so fast,
But I am here at last.
In the now. I’m not asking how or why
I managed to get here.
Because that would be bad luck. And I fear
The winds of fortune might
Change direction at night,
And blow what was so right
Away and I’d suddenly disappear.
Though just yesterday,
I was with others, formed from the same clay.
And I remembered when
Our times had crossed and then
I said, “We meet again.”
Because we managed to come the same way.
From a past, we had shared,
To this future, we reached, because we dared
To be who we were and
Who we are. So, we stand
Together in a land
That’s in the future with others we cared
For, as we made our way
Across the stages of time in the play
That we have created
On words of life fated,
Till the words, we stated
Became the journey of our yesterday.
