Greeting Tomorrow

A reflective piece about letting the past go and welcoming changes that tomorrow is about to bring

My love-jaded heart will no longer respond to the sound

Of whispering raindrops in fall or a train passing by.

I've got brand new wings, yet so frail; I lose touch with the ground

To take to my fantasy velvet mysterious sky.

I'm fine in my bulletproof shell and I quit endless waiting

Like quitting an old nasty habit and moving ahead,

Exploring the worlds that my own deft mind is creating;

Old passion's extinguished along with one more cigarette. 

Whenever I light one, its taste and its sweet bitter flavor

Remind me of sharing a kiss I imagined that spring;

If only that winter I'd been just a little bit braver,

This all would have come to the same tragic end in a blink.

The guise in the mirror of spring is a blear reflection

Of somebody already dead and forgotten at all

Yet standing the very last chance for the heart's resurrection;

I swear I'm back on my feet, you may shoot, I won't fall.

The past is all gone, so one day I'll forget to remember

And gladly discover I've chosen nothing to keep,

Awaiting another July and another December;

And now it's time to put down my pen and just sleep.

What dreams are to haunt me, I wonder? Next morning I'll know,

My mind is still blank as I'm totally sober toight;

My desperate thoughts and my fears are letting me go,

I'm ready to enter the kingdom of misty midnight.

I'm ready to enter the gates of tomorrow now,

Today is a legend and yesterday - just a mistake. 

I'm crossing the line, I will make it all through anyhow,

Just happy to live and to breathe every morning I wake.
