The Elusive Present
I refuse to contemplate a nonexistent future,
It’s pointless to go over a nonexistent past,
You can never fathom the present,
So just let go and be free at last.
Can you show me tomorrow’s newspaper?
or can you prove that your memories are real?
Don’t try to examine what's arising,
Stop trying to figure out how you feel.
Why try to recall what has happened?
Why Imagine what you think will be?
Why try to control anything?
Just let go and maybe you’ll see.
