I Don't Know Tomorrow

by Poet on the Piano   Mar 18, 2012


Less than twelve hours
until the week makes itself
another cup of brewing
coffee- can I withstand it,
will I ask for more, or will
I crumble when the tip
burns me?

I must perspire through it,
persevere, and find the solace
in a good day's work
of loving others
and pointing out other's
beauty in various
forms of talent-
that all gather together
and mark us as
one unique being.

The day might be just
a spoonful of storms,
but it could,
it may just be
a ripe tangerine
of delicate belonging-
where I thirst no more

And I don't know about tomorrow
how I will wake up
or who will make me smile first,
but I know it will be the beginning
to the days of being enveloped
in mercy.

    Now this is a beautiful write.
    I like how you incorporated the images of sipping coffee and all the terms related to it.. from the tip of the tongue and the cup and perspiring thru it. it makes me think that it makes you ponder.... and in the end, I felt there was a religious side to it, it is shown in the word 'mercy' ?

    or is it just love?

    a lovely write.. more than that, too..

    This reminds me of a very curious person :)
    It's a great read and I love how you ended it. Although we don't know what will happen tomorrow, we know God will always be there.
    Keep writing!
