Yesterday
Yesterday
Is now embedded in the frame
Locked away behind the hours
An ancestor for our today.

Yesterday
A rose in full bloom
Lost its virgin fragrance
To a parched fleeting ray.

Yesterday
We stole glances
Across the fence and now
You’ve got another spade.

Yesterday
A spark sprang into stagnant air
Scratched around to find a twig,
And settled in the seeking me.

Yesterday
Laughter mingled
With a thousand cries
At the break of a silent dawn.

Yesterday
Is now a memory
Of a mavin’s universe
Whose brilliance outshines today.
