    QUEST FOR TOMORROW (a love story never told)

    As darkness encroaches
    Apon a mildewed wind
    Rank with the regretfull sobs of today
    Tomorrow
    Pauses to recall what should have been
    And
    What shall never be
    For an echo reasonating from the voice
    Of chance
    Was foolishly interpreted by today
    as tomorrow's call of love

    Pleading with fickle fate
    Today barters his pride
    For an exchange of slightly worn virtue
    Hoping to impress tomorrow
    With a Coat of Arms
    Belonging not to his ancestry
    Yet
    Tomorrow remains indifferent
    To the vanglorious yet vain
    Display of pantomime
    As today
    Exhausted and spent
    Succumbs to the wishes
    Of darkness to vacate hope

    As chance reluctantly departs
    The wails of tomorrow cannot
    Be calmed by angelic virtues
    Whom were called to begin
    Preperation for a union endorsed by the Supreme
    For
    As fate is left to chance
    And today errs in his cadence
    Tomorrow is left with no choice
    But to remain out of touch
    And out of reach
    Alas
    As today ends
    Tomorrow begins her trek 'cross the cosmos
    Alone once again
    With but a faint remembrance
    Of the man she so loved
    A man left in the wilds
    Of yesterday
    Searching for light
    As darkness encroaches upon
    His quest for vision

    For all he remembers seeing
    Once in a dream
    Was the hem of tomorrows dress
    As she departed without purpose
    And left without saying goodbye
    Today...
