Zen And The Art Of Opportunity Poem by arnie reisman

ZEN AND THE ART OF OPPORTUNITY

Yesterday I resisted you
Tomorrow gone mute you fly away

Yesterday you were black as the track of fright
Tomorrow I will be white as the underside of ambition

Yesterday you said you would be the one true teacher
Tomorrow I graduate with honors and other animals

Yesterday you pushed the sun closer to the moon
Tomorrow the stars realign and spell forgiveness

Yesterday I will never have again
Tomorrow will always be mine - except one time
