The Future is unknowable and the past is the past

The present’s possibilities are much too vast

To spend any time worrying about what’s to come or what has gone

It’s time to just tune in and turn on

With the now; life

Just as the skeptic ponders the possibility of life after death

The young mind ponders the possibility of life after youth

It’s hard to answer yes to either with any supporting truth

The skeptic asks if there is a life after death:

Of this, no one can be sure

You can only live life and endure…

The young mind asks if there is a life after youth:

As the wise man sits and thinks about that question

He looks at the people he’s known and it keeps him guessing…

For the living are few

But the existing are in a surplus

Which one are you?

Remember, Living is life’s only purpose

Can you claim to have achieved living?

Not just breathing

But believing

In yourself

For you have to look deep inside you

Before you can begin to understand anything else

Become an island of life in an ocean of existence

Finally one day, when enough islands have risen

Continents of life are what we will be given

Where merely being existent 

Will be forbidden  

Living, everyone…. at last.
