misled

It’s being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can’t relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don’t know if there is one.

dig up the past

buried golden boxes filled with memories,
of years you should have forgotten,
along with scraps of who you came to be.

these should not be taken lightly,
pain laced words from innocent tongues,
that will sting your heart and soul.

if you were to misplace this treasure trove,
or even start anew,
would you ever seek it out again – or be complacent that you are you?
