Contemplating

A tear escapes me ... Wishing for our tomorrow

 

I am sitting here

Thinking of yesterday

Wondering about tomorrow

 

The days go by

Sometimes slowly

Sometimes too quickly

 

Thoughts of you

Cross my mind

Linger in my heart

 

How one decision

Changes us completely

Changes our lives totally

 

Yesterday never was

Today will never be

Tomorrow is always unknown

 

Another day will pass us by

Then a week and a month

Before long a year has gone

 

I am looking forward

To the tomorrow

You described

 

Who knows how long

Before that tomorrow comes

Maybe a year or a decade or two

 

Until then may happiness

Find you at every step

May content find me

 

A tear escapes me

As I sit here contemplating

Wishing for our tomorrow

[Imperfection]

This is so well penned. The pain and the longing is evident but then sadly, this contemplation leads to nowhere.
Sometimes, we are made to realize that we are puppets in the hands of fate. There is very little that we have control over. And one does understand that we ought to make the best use of it but so much time is spent on wishing for pretty things that elude us that we do not even know we have wasted the present.

Contemplation is necessary to learn about past failures and to plan for the next day but some of us overdo it. I certainly do.

Yes, I could relate to this poem.

I enjoyed this , somewhat sad but well done, put together very well , i dont know much but you have talent...

[Forest Green]

Your best poem with heartache on its mind. I really enjoyed this. Wistful and unfulfilled.

Good work.

Sometimes we think to much. When we realize that we choose what we think about from the moment we wake In our dreams we see the thoughts that will not let us be. Awken to see no moment to live in. Ther are no brakes given to our destiny.
