Yesterday

Yesterday filed away
Like colony of ants in summer
Today stands nervously
rocking, flaming.


tomorrow becomes a pregnancy
masked in fear; ladden
with scary hope.

Yesterday;
a load upon today's rat-race;
a burden left in mad rush

Yesterday, a tripod
of tomorrow's clouded dreams;
while today stands on bare
thorns of roses.

~Emeka Chike Nwogu

Emeka, I wrote something similar and I really like how you did this! Hope lives as long as we do and as our yesterdays's become our today's perhaps we can learn to live them better...Great poem!

Love,
Eileen
