25. IN TOMORROW'S DAWN

O ashes of yesterday,
I do not need you.
Just stay where you are
In your futility’s sleep.

O meshes of today,
I do not need you.
Just stay where you are
In your stupidity’s dream.

I shall live in tomorrow’s dawn;
I shall live for tomorrow’s sun.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, Part 6, Vishma Press, New York, 1974
