i've felt
the past.
love
that couldn't last.

i've known
today
as it passes
away.

what will tomorrow
bring?
will i sing?
laugh or cry?
live or die?
will i sigh
& only ask why?

tomorrow
may be a promise
but i've become
a doubting Thomas.

i see no rainbows.
no highs, only lows.
no "yes's" only "no's".
but, who knows
which way the wind blows?

read my cards.
make life's guesses
less hards.

look into your crystal ball.
tell me all.
good & bad.
happy & sad.

gaze at the stars.
don't tell me the "are's"
& "ain'ts".
they make me faint.

tell me
what the future brings.
happier times
or the same old things.
just more a' the same.
give my rhyme
a new name.

sumpin' upbeat.
sumpin' really neat.
sumpin' that's a treat.
no more dead meat
& fleet feet.
