YESTERDAY WAS SO BEAUTIFUL<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(and its passing so sad)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

when the day transitions<\/span><\/p>\n

light goes to night<\/span><\/p>\n

first, before<\/span><\/p>\n

there can be another<\/span><\/p>\n

day<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

sometimes<\/span><\/p>\n

a day has been<\/span><\/p>\n

so beautiful<\/span><\/p>\n

that in the night<\/span><\/p>\n

instead of looking<\/span><\/p>\n

forward<\/span><\/p>\n

to another day<\/span><\/p>\n

we can only grieve<\/span><\/p>\n

for what is gone<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

but each day<\/span><\/p>\n

is its own being<\/span><\/p>\n

each being<\/span><\/p>\n

has their own<\/span><\/p>\n

day<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

whatever beauty<\/span><\/p>\n

we find missing<\/span><\/p>\n

tomorrow, whatever<\/span><\/p>\n

we might miss<\/span><\/p>\n

from yesterday<\/span><\/p>\n

well, that beauty<\/span><\/p>\n

we must become<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

tomorrow<\/span><\/p>\n

we must be<\/span><\/p>\n

as beautiful<\/span><\/p>\n

as the departed day<\/span><\/p>\n

we mourn in the anguish<\/span><\/p>\n

of night<\/span><\/p>\n
