Crystal Ball

I chip fiercely
through the layers 
in search of my future
but nothing,
nothing at all,
just the reflexion
of my curiosity
and the certainty 
to focus
on the present 
or my future
will be nothing,
nothing at all
if I chip my time away.

The future needs a good base to rest on...one that comes from past experience but most of all a solid present. So, it is best to make good use of time. Lovely write. // paul
