With this contributive piece
I would like to share with you
A "Riddle"
That was previously, shared with me
"How would you like,
to make God laugh?"
"Tell him,
what you are doing tomorrow."
~~~~*~~~~
~~~~*~~~~
~~~~*~~~~
Then, Now And Tomorrow
What it is now
Is what it used to be yesterday
What it was
Is what it used to be
What it used to be
Taint no more
Lost in the entanglement
Of yesterday
Where only dreams can reach.
~~~~*~~~~
Today you pray
And praise
That all goes well
God knows, one mistake
You might wind up in hell
Today is the materialistic
The tangible
To feel to love
to give to receive
To thirst and to drink
To hunger and to satisfy
The pangs
To hold and behold
To touch and to be touched.
~~~~*~~~~
Tomorrow
Is not within the past
Nor is it the now
It arrives, on the first light
Of a new sunrise
Becoming today
The now
Tomorrow will never be
Tomorrow is a time concept
Only exist in our minds
There is nothing to be expected
From tomorrow
The only positive side
Of tomorrow
Is the promise of sorrow
Riding on the wings, of a sparrow
Hoping it never leaves it's tomorrow.
