Still

Linking the past, present and future

There is more to life than just the here and now!

(Still)

 

The life of the past is no longer a mystery

Since theoretically it was already paved

Nook and cranny mapped by distance

The bumps and potholes travelled

Mistakes encountered

Passing them forward

Understood but

Still

 

The life of the present has only begun, as it remains the present

Every second of every day, you lose a moment to the passing

A flash that congregates to that paved roads of yesterday

Never to return to the here and now we once enjoyed

To freeze the present is impossible

To capture it is futile

To brag you can

Even change it

Remains visually

Still

 

The future remains constant, despite what people might think or even believe

Constant change, glazes every brain in the universe to see change everywhere

Looking deep into the future without even knowing what they are viewing

Each and every pattern changes what was, to what is, to unknown

Even if you can see the future, with the fixed value clear as water

The unknown value can change the outcome even as we speak

Since the thinking part of the past is linked to the future

Our modification of the unknown helps us change

The direction we will travel on the roads of the past

What we take for granted about each other

Only corrupts right and wrong

Choosing a path to save others

Shows compassion to all

Then the future remains

Changing for each of us

With a common goal

To change direction

Is No longer

Absolutely

Still

I love the choices of words here, but for me i dont like changes in font, i find it hard to read. But struggled through, and in fact absoloutly loved the way it is shaped.
This is my fav part.

This was interesting. I like how it's different from most of the stuff of yours that I've read, more philosophical and less story telling. This was really good, the last lines are amazing and very powerful. Just make sure you watch your tenses! You switch from present to past once or twice in there o.O

Yesterday is a memory and tomorrow is a dream. Today is all we have,,,,,,

I am in agreement with Dawn, I don't think you need to change any of the wording. I don't know if the type set does it justice, but it is a great write.

My favorite part is this "What we take for granted about each other, Only corrupts right and wrong"...
It reminds me that we should appreciate each other every day, least it be the last.

Kudos! JC
