This Day Poem by Smoky Hoss

This Day

Rating: 5.0


This day,
like all the days
that have ever preceded it,
starts with a rigid annotation,
forceably saying,
the sublime night
has wiped the slate clean,
here and now in this moment of beginning
all things are new,
no more yesterdays,
and not yet any tomorrows,
this is all there is,
it is a new day,
make something of it,
and of yourself.

We are moulded by our past and beset by fears of the future - to live for just today is the best of all philosophies. Brilliant write.
