All Our Yesterdays

Wind changes direction
this way, that way, it tells me that
All Our Yesterdays
are gone.
Blown out to sea, crashed into trees
Broken by speed and momentum,
Crushed beyond recognition

Light moves from East to West,
moving yet unchanged it tells me that
All Our Yesterdays
are gone, but still here
Heat and Cold rise and fall
Broken yet remaining still
Shadows of memory

Water flows and recedes
in and out, moving sand to bury
All Our Yesterdays
under the tidal pools filled with
Life. Life moving and changing over the
Impressions of Love

Earth stands still,
unmoved yet lifting up
All Our Yesterdays
to the light that gives
Life. Life now and yesterday and forever
Formed as an imprint of
You.
