In the Present

I peek into the future and live on memory lane. For the present is a moment and a moment's just a grain. Getting caught up in the details, of what's ahead and what's behind. Losing sight of what's before me, I'm afraid I'll lose my mind. I have finally found some wisdom, as time slips through the hourglass. That the present holds the pen, that writes our future and our past. 1/15/2021

The last 2 lines are my favorites. I find myself very present when I write too. Good poem.

“a moment’s just a grain”—sometimes that’s all we can handle… Time is a deep subject, that ironically may take an eternity to understand. Beautifully written, intriguing ideas. God bless! :)
