What the future holds—
Life, promise, hope, joy, and love
Or death and despair.

A few good lessons:
The past is a great teacher
That many ignore.

A continuum:
Space and Time intertwine like
The vines of a rose.

Now or tomorrow?
For the procrastinator
The answer’s simple.

When will it all end?
War, poverty, and racism—
Only Time will tell.

I died years ago.
I was reborn when I found
The poet in me.

History’s lesson:
Those that repeat their mistakes
Are just poor students.

Some live in the past;
Others live in the future;
Few live in the day.

Past, Present, Future—
Somewhere in between one of these
Lies your destiny.
