Mythos & Marginalia

2015 – 2025: a decade of days


cloud songs

Mysterious night surrenders  
to gentle morning, a shade later 
    that it has in the recent past. 
        What was it yesterday 
        that tomorrow promised 
            today? 
        Wasn’t it a better day? 
    Didn’t I need to hear it then? 
Even now I question. 
    Early now. Collateral damage of
misspent time and yesterday’s ways
still echo, and will
                          in the days ahead. 
        What will reveal itself as full  
sunlight beckons? 
    Certainly today there will be 
      more questions, with answers
         arriving later than tomorrow.
