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.
