Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow


Yesterday... this ghost, this apparition
An echo in the darkness
A lingering vestige of a past self
An attachment clinging to the present
It is death – the absence of reality

Today... this glorious change
Unequivocal and constant
A powerful and steady heart beat
From which flows the essence of Life
It is reality – unhindered and infinite

Tomorrow... is a curse
A spell that we ingest intravenously
Using heated spoon and hypodermic needle
With it come a ball and chain, and cracking whip
It is birth – a coma we will never wake from

Yesterday is gone and long forgotten
Tomorrow is a supposition
Today is tangible; it’s malleable, and real

Where do you reside?
