Tomorrow is but a shadow,
Yet to be approached,
Never to be reached.
Sun’s light illumes my way,
Night shades slow withdrawal
Pale memory of dreams remain.
Old secrets of tomorrow entice,
Allured is the spirit
Its wants unmet.
I mourn loss, nothing does suffice,
To weep for bygone times,
No echoes shall there be.
For today shall be tomorrow,
Yesterday did set me free
Sins no longer dwell.
An end to all my sorrow,
The path is wide before me
Burdens now relieved.
