Today

Today, I sat beside a tree 

           And wondered who I was...

Today, I know that I am free

           Tomorrow, will it pass?

Today, I think what thoughts may bring

           And time may choose to paint

Today, I utter words that sting 

           Yesturday, love was faint...

Today, my mind roams wild forests 

         Where dreams and nightmares live...

Today, my soul in warm heart rests

         And I accept what life does give,

Today, I sat beside a tree

         And saw the shadow that it cast...

Today, I saw above me stars

          Tomorrow, will it last?
