IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES



If tomorrow never comes
And I still have today
Then I’ve got the power to hover and linger
To keep working at the threshing floor
To keep make more juice at the winepress
To work on the darkness of my coal


If tomorrow never comes
I will sit by the fire
Melt myself away
Ensuring more sweat and blood
Till it’s the wee hours of the day

If tomorrow never comes
I’ll take in the greens to purge out the green
I’ll lick the mud
And dance with the ashes
And let Gandalf decide
Whether hay or nay
So fox can work out the way

I will sit on my butt
With shacks and sacks for covering
And paddle my boat
But wait
I see Venus faintly
Here comes tomorrow

    What an hypothetical piece with shade of realism and hint of hope.
