Today is all I live for…

As I clasp onto a fistful of sand
I see grains slip away
And I know, tomorrow, when I open my grip
All I’ll have are the fate lines on my empty palm staring back at me
But for today I’m happy
For now, I still have a fistful of hope

Closing my eyes, I surrender to the arms of fantasy
I hear distant whisperings that soothe my anguished soul
I feel the embrace that absorbs my saline downpour
Through a misty vision I see the approaching silhouette of the familiar stranger
I shall not let my eyelids part
For all I have is today, to be happy…just once

They say ‘The Future beacons’
Perhaps it does for all
Yet I wish today lingers forever
Yet I cling onto today
Tomorrow may hold its promises for the world
But not me…

Today is all I live for!
