the flowers briefly . light up the catalpa tree . wile its past lingers
where something ends up . is always more relevant . than where it came from
each day is a life . to be lived, start to finish . never to repeat
it’s not quite ready . but that’s all the more reason . to capture today
in being present . we can feel the energy . otherwise ignored
killing the future . will not repair the present . nor bring back the past
even a blank slate . will influence whatever . is written on it
ideas planted . today, will often take on . a life of their own
how the past controls . the future is dependent . on today’s actions
acknowledge the past . and consider the future . now step through the door
