Night and Day

Today is never good enough to keep;
we long for the unreachable tomorrow.
Perfection's in our hands and yet we weep
until we've nothing left but perfect sorrow.

We set our goals completely out of sight
beyond the far horizons of a chance
that we will have to step into the light
and mount the stage of life to start the dance.

For love and for the lack of love we've wept
and, blinded by despair, we cannot see
the world is filled with love we won't accept
because we long for love that cannot be.

And while our nights are begging life to stay...
our days are busy pushing it away.

W.D. Neighbors

  1. Wayne,

    I came across your blog because of your reference to "stage of life." I just wanted to let you know I enjoyed the poetry. We're always looking for more people to participate in the conversation and share wisdom and advice with the world.
