Someday… Life can seem sentient. As though it creates questions for you And sits, Drumming its omnipotent fingers Waiting for your answer. Life asked me a question today. With one simple word. "Someday…", it whispered. When is someday? It made me think of every time That word had passed my lips Someday… How many I regret How few I've seen I've promised them to people who now are gone To people who have long forgotten me But never have I forgotten them I've even promised myself But when is someday? Life never asks you a question And leaves you unprepared Every answer is hidden in a part of your life I have found someone who has given me meaning Given me an answer… a realization That someday can't wait Won't wait, never waits. Someday would be an injustice to her It must be today For that is when love lives Tears flow, flowers bloom, sunrises glow Today is the only time we're given Someday, she may be gone May forget, or forget me Today I have her in my arms And I pray today will last forever Life, I think, just looked at me and smiled. |

I was going to say I enjoyed reading this, but that would be a huge understatement. I absolutely LOVED this. I can't wait to read more of your work. Welcome to Passions for sure  All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

Thanks, everyone, for the responses. Two nods from Seniors and one from an Emeritus... I'm very flattered. BTW, thanks for the email Poet! To be honest, I haven't written in a few years. Kind of lost touch, I guess. The real reasons for my entry are: 1) Leanne, my friend, who has given me a new outlook on life and is the person for whom this poem was penned and 2) The poetry that I have read here in the past few days; incredible. It has awoken something inside me. So thank you again, as I was not sure how, or if, this would be accepted. You make a person feel very welcome here. I am looking forward to reading and, if warranted, posting more poetry in Passions. Trew < !signature--> I have been to see the world. Tasted life at every turn. And all the time your face came back to haunt me. -Chris DeBurgh [This message has been edited by Trew (edited 06-11-2000).] |

Thank you, one and all! I've been to a few different sites such as this in my wanderings, but none had the feel that this one has. You seem to be a fine group, and I am honoured by the responses. I look forward to getting to know you all in Open #8. Trew. I have been to see the world. Tasted life at every turn. And all the time your face came back to haunt me. -Chris DeBurgh |

Trew-You have a very elegant way with words. It is refreshing to read such a poem of tenderness. |
