The Demise Of Yesterday Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran
The Demise Of Yesterday
He was late to remind himself
That Yesterday attained
Its age seventy
Hurrying a bit,
He went up the hills
Carrying the bouquet
Of his appreciation
To reach the horizon-gate where
He found the sun climb up
That told him of Yesterday's demise...
As he was searching for a few words
To express his condolence
The sun had moved up the hill
Quite an unheardable distance
He looked at the bouquet in his hand
The flowers, he found them fresh
Suddenly promising
He decided to keep them
For self, for his tomorrow;
A wise compromise...
As he was treading
Slowly down the hill
The fragrance of the flowers,
He carried, spread down the valley
More intensely

Another poem of great depth. Thought provoking with compelling imagery. Five Stars! ! !
Thank you sir for writing and sharing a more than well written poem, woven with great imagery that for me when reading, calls out and comes alive. An absolute joy to read from beginning to end. Five deserved stars given gratefully. I thank you again and wish you and the loved around you, all the good and great virtue's this life can bestow. Take care and enjoy life.
He decided to keep them for self for tomorrow... what a wonderful comprise! A beautiful poem with fabulous imagery. I liked the way the poet has put things into perspective. A bit philosophocal but clear in tone... appreciated.
Every 'today' has to die to become a 'yesterday' only...and yesterday becomes a memory from the day of its birth....a lovely imagination in a story form..admired much...5 stars
