I shone a torch into the past but the batteries kept on flattening a quick glimpse was all I got in the fading light and to try to put it in context was beyond my reckoning . So I shone the torch into the future and all I saw was myself in a mirror the fears of my mind lit up my present situation like fireworks going off prematurely. I threw away the torch happy to live the mysterious present darkness with the company I stumble across daily.
