Tomorrow

Today was a good day.

I laughed when I should,

Remembered everything I could.

What will happen tomorrow?

Other days, a shadow of myself.

Unsure when or how to step,

My mind is jumbled--fear and uncertainty.

What will happen tomorrow?

Seeing people, a puzzle of the mind.

Fragments scattered lying on the table,

I smile and nod, not sure that words will come.

Listening without contributing is unclear but provides clarity.

What will happen tomorrow?

A collective breath of relief for the good days.

Gratitude spills from all of us,

Because we don't know...

What will happen tomorrow?
