I Dived Into A Caldron

I dived into the caldron that they said was filled with 
A magic that would show me all the secrets of  the past.
They promised it would make me see such wondrous places  
Of the future and learn from the past . 
Slowly as I stepped down and the  liquid began to cover me .
I realized I needed no potion for the magic was already in me.
To See my future and I had already  lived my past,
My journey was here and now and these are the memories I needed to make last. 
I looked across as the others slowly gathered around me,
I knew that many of them over time I  would sadly no longer see.
I did not need this caldron of magic to show me, 
What I had all along the magic was in me.
