 -- Tomorrow Already Knows --

John Herlihy

 

Feel not really up to the task,

With no one close by to ask.

Trouble making up your mind,

Uncomfortable with those unkind.

Decisions that need to be made,

Options have not my mind swayed.

Seeking certainty but still in doubt,

Often, I wonder what it’s all about.

Hesitant even to pick up the phone,

Sometimes better just to stay alone.

Feeling lost or adrift without a plan,

Same as any other woman or man.

In the end, we can only suppose,

What tomorrow already knows.

It seems I'm forever living in the past or projecting into the future instead of dealing with today. I wonder why that is? Tomorrow is going to come with enough of its own problems. Why carry today's with me into it?

And yet, with tomorrow all knowing, we fear turning out the bedside lamp, closing our eyes, and trusting one will wake, still breathing, still ready or not for the day that is already prescribed by our destiny... small as each day may seem in that journey.

Loved how this poem poked at my preconceaved ideas and made me consider yours. Thanks for posting.

Many days I feel adrift. Lost with my words. Hitting ink to paper, but not finding answers. All I can offer is to be patient. Answers will come.
