my final future

 

 

now then…

 

The unknowable future

   has been around for a long time,

it is,

it will be,

the mystery is what, not if.

 

I realize new truths.

I’m closer to my future

   than I used to be,

I’m closer to my final future.

I think more about tomorrow,

I think more about today.

 

Sweet futures can become sweet nows,

the nows I can know.

I can choose my next now,

I do not know tomorrow’s future,

I will live it in good time.
