TOMORROW

~ Che ~ Leave a comment

Wait a day longer, Tomorrow,
If you can – for Today is sweet as comfort
Yet, no, blue shadow, you carry me forward
A lotus dream on a tide older than Ganges
And here I am again, on the cusp of dawn
Seeking a new song of morning.

When did I sow all these seeds ripening out of me?
And then Today whispers in repetitious verdure
Every new day you live emerged from your heart.
The beauty of pleasure and the beauty of pain
Is that they have to fight for you tomorrow again.

IT KEEPS MOVING FORWARD

~ Che ~ 2 Comments

Light, Light, yon distant star
Ever and on you move
Forward, forward, always so far
Away in the distant grove

You call, I come, and then you are gone
You beckon, I follow, all on my own

Love, Love, yon burning star
Ever and on you go
Forward, forward, near and yet far
And forevermore we follow

Who is in my heart? Who are you?
All I know is that I love you.
