A Promise

a poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

I’m tomorrow and
Every day
Thereafter.
I’m the earth upon
You’ll wish to walk,
So be careful
Where you go.
When you join me
You’ll be as me,
And what you see
The sky and rain
That falls,
Flowers and
Leafs on trees.
Fear not for I
Live in everything
And no one will
Ever be
A stranger.
