Past

The Past is but a memory held by nostalgia and regret,

constantly encumbering our self interests, our actions.

It is the night to our day and the day to our night,

for without it, there is no life.

It is our next movement, our next thought, it longs to be Present.

It is the burden we may carry for years to come,

until we are old and gray, we only wonder what we didn’t do to change it.

Present

The Present can be outweighed by polluted actions,

it can be outweighed by righteous acts, nonetheless.

Though it seems it is our best Future we long for,

it is balance we truly need.

The kind souls of this world clash upon its evil

to make the balance a human still has yet to learn.

The Present is what is happening and what still has yet to happen,

for it is greatly depicted on the Past and the Future.

The world reflects how we feel and what we want,

a sure sign that we haven’t an idea of what it will become.

Future

The Future hangs upon the clouds, it grows with every dream,

it rains our outcome unto the Present, thus, our Past is created.

It is bestowed upon our everyday lives as yet we still have to fulfill it.

It is the wonder that fuels the wisest of life,

the constant needing to peek behind the curtain,

not knowing that it lies over the garden wall.

We grasp for every branch that can take us higher and higher away from our Present,

and into the world of the unknown.
