[kuangning]

Dream not of today;
Its charms, though many,
Are but mundane shadows
Of greater glories.

Dream not of yesterday.. its time is gone,
Its sweetness crushed
Like roses dying underfoot.

The passage of time
Slows not for fallen leaves..
The bells toll no more
For far-off victories
In dusty battles
Long since ended.

Dream only of tomorrow..
For only in tomorrow
Can you catch a star
And follow its blazing trail
Across a galaxy or a lifetime..
It takes dreams of tomorrow
To justify decisions
Made in the uncaring blind
Of today.

Only in tomorrow can you see
What you could be..
What you should be..
Only dreams of tomorrow
Can sustain you
Through the heartbreaks of now
And the memories
Of empty yesterdays.

Dream not of today..
It is only
Yesterday's dream of tomorrow,
Never come true.


... with that reminder to myself, I think it's time to stop. *laugh.*
