Of Tomorrow's, Today's and...Eternity(there's no plural in Eternity)

When we wake, what was tomorrow

Now has become our today

Moments of ‘past-present’ drifting

An intangible foray

Now eyes open and tomorrow

Spawns a fresh and mystic page

While yesterday’s tomorrow gleams

Beneath our feet; an open stage

...where life’s unknowns spill in moments

Moment-mysteries unfold

Writing memories and memoirs

In its ink of gray and gold

And soon again eyes close in slumber

…tomorrow becomes today

Kaleidoscope of pain and pleasure

Slipping into yesterday

When we wake, what was tomorrow

Is today; so it will be

Until we waken in the morning

Of God’s vast eternity

Life is that thread between yesterday and eternity .

As I was drifting off to sleep last night I remember thinking ‘when I wake up it will be tomorrow’…and in my semi-wake state a picture flashed through my thought of what it might possibly be like when we open our eyes one last time…Forever.
