Today, as always and as often before <br />Dreading the light that falls on my face <br />The fingers that fumble and won't find <br />Yesterday, today and tonight. <br /> <br />Worse than the morrow <br />Is the memory of sorrow <br />To know at the end of each day <br />That emotion has flown away. <br /> <br />O desultory rhyme. Time after time <br />I tried, the paradox of living and forgiving <br />I can try each day. Each morning the sun <br />Will rise, will slide, will set <br /> <br />Morning and mourning. The surprise <br />The yearning, the knowing <br />Today, as always at sunrise. <br /> <br />Copyright: Rani Turton<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/today-as-always/
