The past is only memory
and the future a fatal mystery.
The present is the only gift
That offers our existence peace
For existence is a fantasy
We dreamt our selves to being
and Life is just a fiction
that death will complete
The present is the only gift that offers our existence peace....you are absolutely correct. I am so happy to find this poem among top selected member poems. Many congratulations! !
Wow! I really LOVE this poem, Kevin! The 1st stanza alone is a gift to the reader. And just when you think that it can't get any better...along comes the 2nd stanza. There is nothing but ALIVENESS in both!
Very deep, that I ponder it in amazement, I like it! It's wonderful!
We are all heading down the same path, and same ending. Great poem on life.

We should embrace what present offers to us because we have already lost the past and future is unseen and unpredictable....an excellent poem.
