A Poem by -Adam-
"

I was having some problems, but in the end I really only had one. So I put it out on paper.

"

                                                            Today Is today,
                                                          today will be gone.
                                                   Tomorrow will be tomorrow,
                                                    tomorrow will also be gone.
                                                Why do we wait on something?
                                 When it will be gone in a shorter time then it took to here.
                                              For that may be a question of life.
                                                          Why look back,
                                                      but yet why look forward?
                                     Looking back on the good and the bad helps nothing.
                                        Looking ahead at what may be good is uncertan.
               So if looking back is no help,
                                                  and looking forward is no help.

                   What Does That Tell Us?

I think of things like this all the time. LOL I call it living in the eternal now. Past and future are illusions. They were what they were or they will be what they will be. Such is existence. This is well said. Your questions bring deep concepts to their simplest forms. That is not easy to do. Cheers.

I like it a lot, and to answer the question of the last line... "LIVE IN THE MOMENT!" is what it screams.

Good afternoon Adam,

There is definitely a degree of truth intertwined within your words.

In my writing, I try my best as-not-to speculate on any given subject. Yes... Certain things indeed need to be placed before our eyes, the trouble with doing such a thing (we all have a different take on this thing called life).

I love the questioning, again I believe this is the most powerful thing we can do as writers. Let me go a step further, I believe this is our responsibility as writers.

Thanks again.

Keep up the good writes.

Yes, it does make you think but it brings the point home...worry about today. Yesterday is done and tomorrow hasn't happened yet. I enjoyed your work and am glad you are bringing your poems out in the open!
