Tomorrow Lost

 

Tomorrow Lost

 

Let us raise

Our glasses

To all those

Times

When dreams

Were not enough

 

To all those

Hurts

We hide behind

And the time

Your smile

Turned

Upside down

 

When our

Beloved blues

Assumed

The shade of

Absent bruise

The smallness of

Another day

 

Yes let's drink

To all

Tomorrows lost

And moments

Shed like reptile skins

Along the way

Now long forgot

I find it's always best to remember the good in situations and people and erase the not so good Neville. I would certainly raise my glass to that. Bad moments should not define the whole and there are always two sides to every story. This poem speaks in a tone I am unfamiliar with, though it is well written and has some excellent lines. I especially like the second stanza.

You are welcome, have a great day.

Thankfully, we can never lose tomorrow, because we have not gained it yet. Yesterday though, is another matter. Love this poem!

A wonderful use of words. Good words to express life and the things we done. Like a prayer for the lost and the wounded. Thank you Neville for sharing the amazing poetry.
