Poem - As the past approached | POETRY
“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin. The past is never where you think you left it. The present changes the past. Looking back you do not find what you left behind. Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.
As the past approached
"As the past approached,
the future, notwithstanding when you've lived it,
stays to be seen.
Behind that door
there is life. But guess!
Out or in?
This side or the other?
Shut or open?
Who's sitting tight for me there?
Who am I sitting tight for?
I have still to find.
One foot forward,
one in reverse.
In all actuality, the truth,
neither key nor lock.
Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow has not yet come.
We have only today.
Let's begin."
