Tomorrow Need Not Be The Same Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

TOMORROW NEED NOT BE THE SAME





Once I wished time flown
transforming blocks of ifs
into invincible completion
comforting personal myths
each individual's repletion
groan_less immortality grown.

Once I longed to know serenity
from the lunatic bark and bite of society
tasting basic instincts' secretion
seeking to slide beyond black hole terrenity
avoiding void's passive satiety
fulfillment through harmonious concretion.

I still long to sire her child
both bequeathing and breathing lessons learned
wisdom fleshed out through fresh renunciation of flesh
unlimited and creative childhood expansion
touching tendrils with both tame and wild,
surviving unscathed, growing unburned.

We agree yearning obliterates
the moment's joy, blown with the wind.
We have evolved
through living from longing to giving and forgiving,
conundrum and paradox solved.

Tomorrow need not be the same.
Everything, extending range,
bends light's prismatic flame
preparing strange yet welcomed change...
