What Tomorrow Brings

 It was the whisper of a thought without form
that emerged from the shadows,
skimming your subconscious,
waiting for you to see and accept it in your soul.

At first sight you tossed it in the corner

faster than a bolt of lightning

as it burned your hand and your heart

 with the truth you’ve been hiding

from yourself all this time.

While the clock kept on ticking,
it lay smouldering,
waiting for your breath of courage
to take it, own it and
breathe life into it...

...and on the sunrise of a certain morning

you knew the time was right

to follow the thread of possibility

that had stretched and grown

and you loath to close

the opening doors

to a daunting unknown tomorrow.
