The Great Conundrum

the problem with the past

is yesterday and tomorrow;

you can’t undo yesterday,

and you can’t

guarantee tomorrow;

the problem with the present

is yesterday and tomorrow;

you can’t undo yesterday,

and you can’t

guarantee tomorrow;

the problem with the future

is yesterday and tomorrow;

you can’t undo yesterday,

and you can’t

guarantee tomorrow;

feelings fade,

sliding out the door

like unwanted

house guests,

fleeing into the

surrounding wilderness

never to return,

never to be seen again,

the pain comes,

the pain goes,

here today,

gone tomorrow,

passing moments,

piling upon a mountain

of yesterday’s moments,

cascading into fresh moments

of today,

patiently waiting for

new moments of tomorrow,

which in the end

mean very little, because;

you can’t undo yesterday,

and you can’t

guarantee tomorrow.
