Just Be

Just Be

Standing on the edge
Sharp as a razor
The past on one side
The future on the other
The one fades into a deepening chasm
While the other fades into the mists
Old hopes gone
New hopes are on the way
I just have to wait
And watch as the edge falters
Making it harder to balance
Harder to accept the future
Easier to forget the past
That is not the way I want to be
I just want to live for the moment
Not think
Not hope
Not remember
Just be in the instant
