pause for a thought..


I think of the frail past,

those gloomy days,

those tarnished nights,

clouded, dim, overcast.


I have to go Everest heights,

have to win some serious fights,

need a direction, I know my aim,

thoughtful but somewhat insane.


I foresee the future,

stand alone in the path,

forlorn and desolate,

abandoned apart.


A ray of hope,

enlightens my heart,

when I think, I live for the present,

I forget the future, I forget the past.

wow! this one was brilliant. too good! :-)

Past is a shadow haunting you every moment... the future, a mirage luring your senses...
While all the while, the present silently flows towards the mirage, till shadows engulf it.

Cheers!

'I forget the future, I forget the past'

Yes, it is important for us to live NOW. Living for the present, makes us forget the past, the future along with worries and troubles, making us a much more happy and satisfied person in life :)

Very rightly and beautifully expressed!
