Today

T  O  D  A  Y

By: SeemsPoetic

I am truly sorry to say 

Today... 

Today is the day 

Today is your last 

But be proud of your past

Be thankful for the time 

Be thankful for this life 

I know you are worried

You haven't lived right 

But don't be discouraged 

To some 

The things that you've done

They may have seemed wrong 

For others, they saw them as right 

But don't be discouraged

You can't please them all

We all 

Have our rises and falls 

Today...

Today is the day 

You will fall no longer 

Today is the day

You will no longer see hardship

You will no longer feel pain 

The world around you 

Will drift away 

Today is the day

You meet your demise

But please realize 

Today

Could have come sooner 

Instead,

It's today

Today is just another day.

Like all those before it 

Like those that may have come after

Nothing different 

Nothing changed

But today 

Today is the day 

Life flashing before your eyes 

Vivid visions

Marbled memories

And colorful recollections

Fading to gray

What lies ahead for you 

I cannot say

But maybe this life...

In its entirety...

 

Is just another day 

Falling asleep

Drifting in darkness 

Until we awake 

                                                                                                                       

In Memory of Eugene F.

Seems Poetic, I enjoyed reading Today. Very profound, peaceful but questioning the universe. I loved your final lines, "Drifting in darkness until we awake". As always you rock !
Thanks for sharing and God Bless
