Where Is Tomorrow? Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I have never been this desperate
To have a glimmer of hope
To open the curtain of time
And look the rising sun
I want to see tomorrow
And be present inside his rays
I want not the bitterness of yesterday
Or the coldness of today
I want to feel the sunshine
Pelting its way into my skin
I want to touch the ray of hope
And drink from the goblet of dreams
I want to say goodbye to today
Leave behind my sadness
I want to undress my past
Address my future
There are bright rays ahead
I can see them with my eyes closed
They are the fibres of tomorrow
Glowing in dark
When tomorrow comes
I will not ask questions
I will hold him
And be his dream
I will love him
With all my heart
Just show me the way
I want to find tomorrow
