Premonition Poem by Mary Champion

I dream a strange dream -
I am about my daily routine
when I meet Tomorrow
searching for Today.

Tomorrow is anxious
for the Day After.
It has a warning for Now -
the moment we are all living in -
Tomorrow is desperate to foretell
what awaits
if we do not change
what we prioritise Today.

But Tomorrow
speaks the language of the future,
unintelligible to Today,
so, its warning falls on deaf ears
and the Day After is lost.
