The Present

The Present

A Poem by Lizardo
"

Time has only one state, and that is the present

"
I see many people thinking about the future...
I see many people thinking about the past....
But I don't see many people thinking about the Present

Present is where our dreams become real
There's no future....
And the past is past....
If you think about it
in 20 years
We'll feel like its the present
Because there's no future...

Future is just a thought
A dream to fulfill in the present

The Present is everything happening now
And the present is everything that is going to happen now
Because we will never go to the future
We'll always be in the present...

And the present is the most important state of time
We're waiting for the ''future'' to come and fulfill our dreams
But the future is never going to come
The present, Right now is the time to wake up from our dreams
And step to reality

Oh dear time...
You were made in three states...
Past, Present, And Future...
But for me, theres only one state of time
And that's the present....

Everything that is going to happen Now..
Everything that will happen Now
Evertyhing happened Now

Welcome to The Present

You acknowledge that there are 3 phases of time. Past Present and Future. You seems to state that you don't live or believe in the Future. Perhaps I see what you mean or perhaps I may be wrong. Perhaps you are saying or the persona or muse in this piece is saying that he is living his life day by day. He is not controlled by what happened in the past nor plan so far in the future that he might get ahead of the present. Someone that is living ahead of now or present is someone who is concerned or procrastinate so much of the future and may fall into a trap of worrying what could lie ahead. So on in this piece the author is careful about living and enjoying his life of living in the here and now. Not necessarily saying a carefree life but a life at its fullest because we are not promised tomorrow nor next week nor next month nor next year. Only today ...this present moment that is why today is a gift.
