The threshold of tomorrow

I stand on the threshold of tomorrow
Gaping at the dawn of dreams unknown
Tomorrow calls on me to step forth
Into the unknown; the unseen, the unheard of
The blur lingers over shadows

Yesterday!!! Yesterday drifts away
The familiar; the comfort; the security; the known
The gulf, the abyss the never ending journey
On which history is set widens
The now fades into nothingness

I stand on the threshold of tomorrow
Waiting for nothing but me to step up and out
Into myself, my dreams, my hope, my life
In the shades I see it-my destiny
Lurking like a stranger in the dark
Yesterday!!! I hear the laughter of friends
The shouts of childhood, the joys, the pain, the sorrows
I feel the touch of a familiar hand, the whispers of voice
The footsteps-tap-tap-tap-tap, the opening of my heart
The knock, the commotion, the screams, the wails, the silence

Alone I stand on the threshold of tomorrow
