In the Now

Life
like
tomorrow will make the difference
while today becomes
doing and thinking and being for
life 
is not a road until
the rut is made.
Life does not become a way of
life
until tomorrows become misty
and yesterdays no longer exist.
to this moment of
life
you want to hold onto.
Life
drives you mad
the next moment of life
this too shall
pass
into now.
Now
to never have known no other time
but Now
this part of then
when is the time
Now.
Was that then Life?
existence
life 
dream
life
plan
life
eternal
life
empty
life
plain filling
life =
Silence.

This poem is deeper than life itself, even though my comment contradicts your writting. A well deserved featured poem.

Really enjoyed reading. The structure forces the poignancy of the questions almost like darts being thrown at a dart-board in rapid succession. As it truly is with life. Congrats on the feature.
