New Poem!

Here's something new I'm working on based on a friend's inspiration.  There may be revisions/additions, but here's what I've got so far for "Chasing Yesterdays":


I'm not quite chasing yesterdays, 
but I'm not quite letting them go.

What's done is
            done.
What's gone is
            gone.

                        But the memory remains.
                        And the memory inspires:
Inspires me to hope,
Inspires me to dream,
Inspires me to imagine.

And so I pray--not for a yesterday--
        but perhaps a somewhat
                               similar
                               some day...
                     
 If this setup seems somewhat familiar, you're right!  This is a companion piece to "Hunting Tomorrows."
