Now

I am reaching for heights unknown, As I leave no stone unturned. I am treading a path unpaved, With hope that I survive unscathed. The obstacles I must surmount, Are far too many to begin to count. With winding roads and rocky cliffs, No time for should'ves or what-ifs. The past a painful open wound, I hope to heal, but now's too soon. The future veiled in mystery, I've ony now so let it be. Let this moment soak me in, Not where I'm going nor where I've been. I'll live, I'll learn, I'll love, I'll care, Then move along and leave it there. I'll hold each second as I am in it, Watch it turn into a minute. Yet, I will not stay once it is gone, Like time I too shall move along.
