When did this tomorrow,
Of which I never cared to think too much,
Become today?
When did the future,
Incomprehensible in size and shape,
Come out to play?
When did what lay ahead,
A meaningless speck on life’s horizon,
Enter life’s daily fray?
When did unmade plans,
Because there’s always much more time ahead,
Shade our lives grey?
When did this tomorrow,
Of which I never cared to think too much,
Become today?

Too true. It just sneaks up on us when we’re not looking.

you have an incredible way of placing thoughts – basic thoughts (sometimes:) in writing which make you think – or shall i say you place into words what it is we do think if we could verbalize it – make sense? btw – i posted a piece today – about “before the gun is fired” – you may find it interesting:)

Its one of life’s wonders isn’t it? Tomorrow always turns up, no matter how much we procrastinate it arrives usually round here in a brilliant burst of sunshine. Great poem Pooky.

absolutely, you never know if there will be a tomorrow and I think pinning all your hopes on the future can be inherently unwise as it never lives up to what you hope unless you take hold and make it happen!
