Tomorrow Never Comes



Tomorrow Never Comes
 

 

Hope hides under the bed,

a forgotten pair of shoes,

waiting for the next journey,

that never seems to come.

 

Low crouching, grasping reach,

searching for the prize. Brushing

off cobwebs of old memories

seeking rebirth, with no recollection

of a time that came before.

 

Death is a reality that cannot

be ignored.  Marching along

a wooden walkway, destiny

holds out a foreboding hand.

 

Hours passed in darkness, traveling

over unknown landscape. I hear

but cannot see. A thin veil of faith disguising

all my sins. Tomorrow comes too quickly

when tomorrow never comes.
