In the now

We are all time travellers
 traversing space and time at will


An hour spent in years gone by
, or a year you wait on still


Living mired in future thoughts
 approaching way too fast
,

or chained to regrets of time gone by, 
still living in the past


But when we turn our thoughts to those
 times other than this day


the magic of the here and now 
grows stagnant and decays


Lost to the possibilities
 that the present can bestow
,

and its not from thoughts of future size
 through which all nature grows


There is no past or future,
 just these constructs of our brain


and to think in terms outside the now 
is a practice to refrain


Its never the destination
 but the journey that’s the key


and being aware of every footstep 
brings a sweet simplicity


Only bring your focus
 to those things within your grasp
,

and a future built on thoughts of sand
 soon becomes a distant past
