Today is not that day

Posted on July 13, 2017 by spearfruit

Today is the 26th month of my blog! My anniversary post is something different than the usual posts I write.

26 (# of months) + 7 (month) + 13 (day) = 46

If I go back to my 46th post and pick the words corresponding to 26, 7 & 13.

Here are those words –

When, His, Today

Now use these words as the first word of a sentence and write a poem.

When will the story be told
His story
Today is not that day

When will the truth be revealed
His truth
Today is not that day

When will the experiences be provided
His experiences
Today is not that day

When will the life be exposed
His life
Today is not that day

When will the last breath take place
His breath
Today is not that day

When that day arrives; it being sooner or later
His life will be revealed
Today is not that day

When they read his story; the one being told now
His true self may be shocking, or may be predictable
Today is not that day

When he is gone, never to return
His story will be left here
Today is not that day

Today he continues to write for as long as he can
His thoughts continue to be placed into words
When it is time to say goodbye, you will know

Beautifully written. Poignant, but such is life. Write as long as you want as today is not the day to finish your story. Today your story continues.

A beautiful piece of writing, Terry. Your very soul shines through every word and make it glow. It´s moving and wistful but also wonderfully hopeful too. I love it! And I´m so glad that this day is not today – may it lie far away in the future. 🙂 ❤
