Neither Here Nor There Poem by David Taylor

You never do know when you might need an umbrella,
or a warm hat; to keep out the weather.

You cannot be sure if your life policies will be sufficient to cover,
the changes that life brings; to you or another.

You cannot rely on the all things you found yesterday,
to be what's needed; for today's fateful destiny.

You can plan for the future and feather your nest,
but you cannot be sure; if it's all for the best.

No you never can know what the dawns of tomorrows
will say of yesterday's; plans for today.

It seems as I ponder on the meaning of things,
that living for now; is the best way to be,
with a tomorrow, without yesterdays fears,
which are neither here now, nor there, in the past.
