But Tomorrow Will Be

Today was not a good day
but tomorrow will be.
Today sorrow was a gravitational force
and I couldn't get up
and communication was satellite static
and I couldn't make sense
and necessity was a black hole
consuming time, patience, and gentleness.
Today was not a good day
but tomorrow will be.

This week was not a good week
but next week will be.
This week plans were leaves in a tornado
and I couldn't put them in order
and intentions were a hailstorm
leaving dents on every surface
and progress was rain in a desert
that never reaches the ground.
This week was not a good week
but next week will be.

This month has not been a good month
but next month will be.
This month change was an avalanche
with threat and mitigation racing each other downhill
and facts were a thunderstorm
racing through too fast to nourish hope
and freedom was an elusive flower
that if too prized becomes an invasive species.
This month has not been a good month
but next month will be.

This year so far has not been a good year
but I am sure it still will be
because the future is unseeded
and we are the sowers
and the stores may be depleted
but we are the growers
and fears must go unheeded
because we have the power
to make of the coming year
all the good that it will be.

Today was not a good day.
But tomorrow will be.
