You sometimes want to erase the past

But you can’t

See the future,

But it’s still being written


The present is all you have want, need

Can control



Take it,

Handful

Step

Leaps

At a time



Time is all we have

Time is nothing

Is everything

Nowhere

Here



Pain

Love

Time, my three greatest enemies



Today I win

Yesterday is gone

Tomorrow, I’ll never know

But, today

I triumph

© Ashton D., Vincennes, IN

The author's comments:
I always find myself lost in time. I can never fully focus on the present...there's always a memory of before, a dream for the future. Still, I battle on to keep myself grounded. I am a dreamer, but I try to be present dreamer.
