Tomorrow!

I walked through a garden,

I walked with my dream.

We held hands, together

On your shoulder, I leaned.

We stopped to smell a jasmine

In a rose, you seemed keen

As you placed it in my tresses,

We laughed like lost teens.

My mind wandered free

Across the road and blaring heat

And perched on the window sill

Of the house across the street.

A beautiful angel was fast asleep,

In her cradle with her dreams

And her parents stood beside her,

Lost in an embrace, deep!

Your breath on my neck

And the warmth of your hold

Brought me back to the garden

And I saw your old eyes gleam!

The visiting hour was over

And I had to be returned.

To the green beds and white walls

And the I.V stands, tall and lean.

You promised to meet me tomorrow

And that tomorrow won't be long.

As you walked out through the gate,

I began my wait - for tomorrow to be born.
