Forever Never

So why is Today

How's Tomorrow

And where's Yesterday

Gone

Where's it been

How'd it go

Will it ever ever

Come back to me

To you

To them

For us

Was there ever a day

Without a yesterday

Will ever there be

One day

Without a next

The only thing I think I'm sure of(how's that statement for hedging my bets?)is that-was there ever a day without a yesterday-I'd have to say yes, the day I was born was my first day, so I didn't have a yesterday and no one knows if there's anything after we are gone. It's difficult for me to comprehend nothingness but anything and nothing is possible.

[Davidgeo]

If anything is possible than nothing might be a possibility.

It's pretty bleak looking at it like that.

Expecting something upon the threat of nothing, well.... that's no fun.

It seems simpler if...

[Davidgeo]

... no one knew.

and it remained a question

[Poetic Beauty]

Time keeps moving forward. It doesn’t look like we do and we don’t know what tomorrow will be like.

So true, there is not an individual yesterday, today or tomorrow... After some time they only merge as a past or when they are untouched they appear as future.. So they are correlated.. I enjoyed this write very much

[John the Baptist]

As has long been said, time waits for no one. Enjoy the now, for soon it will slip into the past and be nothing.

[Davidgeo]

Maybe. Depends upon what you choose to believe in. It's good advice to enjoy the present either way.

[Gee]

Good afternoon young fella :)
I tend to spend most of my time thinking about what has gone before, who has gone before. Very seldom do I think about what's to come, although that being said I think of what the future holds for my daughter, martiage, kids and all of that stuff.
Hope you are keeping well Dave

[Davidgeo]

Hello Gee, it's been a while. Good to 'see' you.

I find it to be less terrifying when I think about the future and eternity and whether things are finite or infinite and all that jazz when it's not just focused on my own mortality and beginning's. The feeling of purpose is greatly enhanced when we are close to other human beings. Loneliness is a terrifying circumstance to think about our ultimate beginning's and ending's in.

I hope you are keeping healthy these days.... don't forget to take your vitamins

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psalm 90:12

[Davidgeo]

Purpose is not a counting stat

[Chris Shaw]

I am thankful for the days when there is a tomorrow and a yesterday. One day there won't be anything. Just lost my brother in law to covid. Still thinking about his loss. This little poem says a lot.

Chris

[Davidgeo]

Thank you. I'm sorry you had to lose someone like that.

One day there won't be anything. It's in our thoughts and memories both good and bad that keep things alive and existing while our bodies and the world around us holds out against the harsh realities of natural decline at the hands of time. Never forget and never stop thinking for as long as you can as no one is really completely gone if you can remember them.

[T.S. Ulmus]

A clever twisting of words here, to not fear and dare to compare the present we revere with the past that can't last is the mark of a great wordsmith... Splurd...blith... (Kind of lost the rhyme there, they can't all be brilliant). Good poem though.

[Davidgeo]

You're too kind to me. Thank you, it's quite nice of you.

[danielle.]

Inevitably there will be only one day without a next...

[Davidgeo]

Probably for individuals, as everyone was born and will die some day. But no one really knows if the universe ever had a day without a yesterday or a tomorrow without a next day... i.e. was there a beginning and will there be an end.

[danielle.]

This is true.
I guess we are fortunate to ponder such things

[Davidgeo]

Yes, I think we are pretty fortunate too.

Although some people are quite terrified by these types of questions and I can't really blame them. I think religion is good for alleviating that terror in most cases.
