Studying

Yesterday found tomorrow wandering

So we all got bored, the three of us

We needed our good friend happiness

It just wasn't a full table without him

Always better with four

So we opened up the Gate

To let the night's storm in

But he couldn't speak within

His language had never been the same

So yesterday suggested books of words

And tomorrow said that had been done

I knew we would never settle on a plan

So I ran to the river sans all

Leaving behind yesterday's call

Tomorrows narrow angry stare

And the fill of nights lonely storm

I leaped over next time

And climbed through loss

I flew next to ambition

High-fived opportunity cost

I danced past shoulda coulda woulda

And played shuffle board with loud

I straightened rising suns argyle tie

Said goodbye to last nights cloud

And when I found the water

I poured tea for my friend smile

We said good day to right now

And saved a seat for after awhile
