The past runs away
In every direction.
There is no way
a course correction
Can get you back to it.
After right now,
You’ve been through it.

Surrounded by the past
The future is nowhere.
Time may move fast,
But we’ll never get there.
We plan and wait,
But it never comes.
Such is our fate.

This fleeting moment
Is all that we get.
Gone in an instant,
So don’t miss it.

Once it is gone,
It’s not coming back.
Where did it go?
Impossible to track.

Do what you must
In order to live.
But take time for moments
And the pleasure they give.
