Yesterday

Standing right in front of me

Yesterday

 

Cast along a dotted line

of yesterdays and practiced rhyme

These dreams before of what was told

deliveries my heart does hold

 

A poet’s thoughts of times gone by

in empty scenes and tear stained eyes

Where broken hearts have come to play

my words they speak of yesterday

 

                   ~~**~~

            

Yet here I stand on corners plead

as verses plant the morning seed

These shadows lingering behind

now disappear in what I find

 

For beauty in my eyes I see

as love it walks the path to me

And since your love has come my way

I’ve no more need for yesterday

Leaving the past behind, happily stepping into the future... :) A bright sentiment to start my day!
Your second stanza is very telling - we write so often of past heartache. It is a wise and uplifting practice to turn our pens to the future sometimes... Wonderful, Jack!
