The Places We Live
Today
Is the only day
We have.
Now
Is the only time
We own.
The future is full
Of fresh tomorrows,
Yesterday, inevitable
And long gone.
Dreaming
Is like pointing
A kaleidoscope
Into the sun.
Memories;
Just old paint
That is starting
To run.
Fantasies;
All in our mind,
A moment of fun
And then done.
Reality,
Though sometimes dull
And full of pain
Is the only place
We are truly
gods.

Oh Sammy, this is tenderly beautiful. I am in love with this stanza.

That last stanza is remarkable. I wish that was true of me. I've never achieved that stature in reality. Still working on it. Great job Sammy.

Absolutely right Sammy.
If you have one foot on yesterday, and one foot on tomorrow, you'll end up pissing the present.
Much enjoyed.
