Yesterday, Today, And Tomorrow, Part One Poem by Susan Williams
Yesterday, Today, And Tomorrow, Part One
.
Yesterday
and for so many yesterdays
day after day of yesterdays
mile after mile of yesterdays
a dreary procession of yesterdays
trudging by
a procession of hopelessness
trudging by
under a brooding gray and fearsome sky
and I...
full to the brim and overflowing with despair...
holed up and watched them trudge by
reaching out to nobody
wanting to be alone
wanting to be left alone
unable to sleep
getting up and staring at the walls
feeling nothing feeling numb
the well in my heart had run dry
I was empty
and my heart had turned to stone.

Thank you, my friend Soran, for pointing out lines that particularly appealed to you- it helps me to know
This is really a beautiful metaphorical poem on despair and fear having touching expression and nice collocation. Wonderful imaginary and imagery. Nice penmanship. Great theme. It has special attraction. My second visit values more. Thanks again for this gem.
I love second visits to my poems! ! ! ! I thank you for these visits and these comments - they mean so much to me
This poem strikes like a lightning rod to my own mental holocausts, and those of my family and friends who have been tethered to the restless anchors of a million yesterdays, all the should haves, all the should nots, come again and again. I know it sounds strange and selfish but when I read poems like this, I feel happy that I am not alone, that there are other people that have experienced the same things.
I think that your reaction is honest and speaking as a writer I am glad to know that the poem was worth writing...so far! Thank you for your honest gut reactions to this, Kevin
Oh, an ever such saddening and heartfelt one! .. So movingly expressed! .. My heart goes to you there, dear friend with care, my prayers! .. Thank you ever so much for sharing! .. Be reading more.. Ever so many 10S! ..................
Hi Susan, heh, your poetry has been the last, I was able to rate and save... now i can do neither: (... Thank goodness though, I was able to rate and save yours :) ... Do hope we'll be to rate and such, soon again! ... Ever so many blessings to you and your family! .. :)
