TOMORROW IS BEHIND YOU

TOMORROW IS BEHIND YOU

Click >> to hear Ahmad Razvi read my poem,

Tomorrow words itself so woolly
  hidden in nebulae of promises
    made long ago, or in vague phrases
      uttered by unseen speakers of...
Don't turn your head away, face
      your past, right in front of you
Tomorrow is behind you, obscured
See your brokenness, accept your
  reality, see them unveil in front
    of your eyes that finally understand
Accept the day for what it is: a moment
      a second, a finite infinite. Take your 
    pain in your hand, observe from all
  sides, then put aside and breathe.
Tomorrow is behind you, obscured
Step towards it with head held high
