Now the time Approachith

Now the hour draws near,
Where past and future fiercely steer.
A collision course of old and new,
A battleground for the chosen few.

Who shall emerge as the victor bold,
And who, besides, will their fate unfold?
Who will ascend to heights supreme,
And who will plummet, as if in a dream?

To a fiery demise, they may descend,
Friend and fiend and foe, all blend.
Each one must release the bygone days,
Let history's grip unclasp its stays.

For what matters most, as time unfurls,
Is not the past's relentless swirls.
It can neither aid nor cause dismay,
Nor sway the balance of destiny's play.

In the grand scope of eternity's scale,
Where moments vanish like a fleeting gale,
It's the now that shapes the vast expanse,
Giving each soul its final chance.
