Tear Past Tomorrow (poem)
A tear past tomorrow is waiting for me
Past nights without dreams its path sets me free
A promise which strains the course which I see
The death of my Joy my grim destiny
-
Each heartbeat each breath is her memory
Each kiss of the dawn are things that won’t be
The whisper of tear to free me from pain
She waits beyond time and this misery
-
I wrestle with truth or mad fantasy
I cry to my soul to help make things plain
But on went the voice with morbid refrain
A river a tide an unruly sea
-
Give me a reason some will to sustain
Is death blessing’s answer to all of this strain
Does final surrender my always regain
Or will all this cross my eternity
-
But there rose a feeling no words could explain
The Joys of a past now I must maintain
The richness the treasure each thrill to sustain
If tear past tomorrow with meaning shall reign
