Today Is ...
By Christopher Roe
... for letting go
of all your yesterdays
to grab onto tomorrow
... the purgatory
shapes of all of your tomorrows
with the strength of your intent
... the honest sweat
of yesterday's exertions
before the coming showers
... nothing new
just as tomorrow can be
yesterday returned
... what you feel
while making memories
for tomorrow to consume
... merely a chance
based on chances taken
for the gamble of tomorrow
... only the hope
between passion's promise
and the shudder before the sigh
... where we share
yesterday's love made new
for tomorrow's endless dawn.
