Two Poems: Today Is The Day for Self-Change & Where Has The Day Gone?
A Moreness revealed, our Inward Journey,
looking back, seeing forward, in the Now.

Today is the Day for Self-Change
“Today is the day
we’ll look back on
as
‘in the day.’
we’ll look back on
as
‘in the day.’
Later never comes.
Today is the day
to plant
our Tree of Real Self.
Today is the day
we’ll look back on
and say:
‘Back in the day,
I took action,
I did something huge,
even though to some
it seemed small.
I planted the seed
my seed of Real Self.’

Today is the day
we’ll look back on
and say:
‘Back in the day,
I took action,
I did something huge,
even though to some
it seemed small.
I planted the seed
my seed of Real Self.’
But,
I did more,
back in the day.
I watered that seed,
tended
nourished
my seed.
As seedling grew to sapling,
I nurtured my Real Self
daily, constantly,
never allowing any opportunity
for my treeling
to cease growing through neglect.

As seedling grew to sapling,
I nurtured my Real Self
daily, constantly,
never allowing any opportunity
for my treeling
to cease growing through neglect.
I persisted,
while my Roots of Real Self
grew deep.
while my Roots of Real Self
grew deep.
Then,
back on a Day,
I found my Tree of Real Me
no longer needed myself,
and I became
my Tree of Real.
back on a Day,
I found my Tree of Real Me
no longer needed myself,
and I became
my Tree of Real.
Yes,
back in the Day,
I DID something…
Now,
every day
is the Day of Real Me.”
back in the Day,
I DID something…
Now,
every day
is the Day of Real Me.”

Where Has The Day Gone?
Day day,
slip sliding away,
away away,
tick tick into night,
swallowed and lost,
forgotten the light,
Day day gone away,
gone away,
it is, it is,
what can I say?
slip sliding away,
away away,
tick tick into night,
swallowed and lost,
forgotten the light,
Day day gone away,
gone away,
it is, it is,
what can I say?
