Yesterdays

"Now A place I'd rather be"

When days are long and time seems to hesitate,
When vision plays the game in the heat haze,
When the noonday sun seems to scorch the detail away,
Are these the times when you see the real you?
 
Long days’ hanging heavy, everything hot and dry.
Time has come to rest, and the future seems to wither,
Memory then journeys to recall other times,
When life, and wonder of the world, occupied the mind.  
 
Remembering those yesterdays and longing to return,
Back to times when life was easy, where tomorrow held no fear,
When no thought of dread was in the head,
To days of cheer and laughter with nothing to regret.
 
Now those unknown roads have no attraction,
Today you stand, marking time, the future far away,
Events anchored in those yesterdays, those days you can’t forget.
Now yesterday is where your life is, Yesterday is you!

(2006)

After a crashing and tragic family loss, its easy to just keep looking back into those "Yesterdays"
when everything was just fine.....
