How Long Is Time?

I remember how it used to be,

Sandstorms,

Duststorms,

Blue skies,

Golden skies.

Sunsets "To die for."

I should be looking forward.

What's the point in looking back.?

Now I have grey skies but I make them.

All our yesterdays and all our tomorrows,

are as fragile as snowflakes, blowing in the wind.

Nothing tangible in yesterday or tomorrow.

All we have is The Now.

All our memories fade with age.

Or re-arrange themselves for our comfort.

The sun always shone.

All children smiled and laughed.

Pain belonged to a grazed knee.

Here in The Now, the knee may be aching,

But the sun does not shine.

Not all the time.

The world is a gloomier place.

Tomorrow is nothing!

Who knows if tomorrow will even arrive?

All we have is The Now.

So should we despair?Should we even care?

Care about The Now? Of course we should.

The answer is obvious to me...

Seize the moment.. Live your life.

For who knows what tomorrow may bring?

Let it not be a time for regrets.

Make our memories . New ones every day.

I think this is the way, the only way.
