HERE AND NOW

HERE AND NOW

They say the way is forward, never back
And never deviate, just keep on track
To search for all those things that one might lack
That never were in your history to find
Although you’ll proceed with an open mind
It is here, right now, you will realise

The past may have seemed like a shade of black
The future just visible through a crack
But the present’s not on a different tack
As fact and fantasy become aligned
It’s right here, with treasures of every kind
A chance for choosing truths, and no more lies

So stop now, and carefully look around
There’s value in new insights that you’ve found
