Clouds of the Soul
It has taken me years to realize that the past and the future are but mere illusions...over which I have absolutely no control. I have lost many golden opportunities while entertaining regret and fear... playing the "if only"... and "what if" games in my head... The only thing I have control of is my NOW...if I choose to seize it.
"if only" and "what if"
are clouds of the soul
that shadow the present
with threats of control.
opportunities vanish,
hope appears lost.
such empty desires
don’t merit the cost.
"what ifs" and "if onlys"
Lay forfeit the now,
the most valuable gift
that Time can endow.
Life is too short
To waste time at hand
chasing illusions
but drawn in the sand.
