Pat on shoulder from the past

What are your future travel plans?

I have been trying to reach

and grasp the future

Shining and enticing

Steps hurrying in anticipation

Just when it’s within grasp

Blinded by the glow

Eyes gleaming with glee

Just then

when it was going to be ‘Now’

A pat on my shoulder

Made me turn back and see

It was none other

than the nosy ‘Past’

Which spoiled the ‘Now’

Once again 😊

There were a few

They slipped through

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

In an uncertain world

Transient and slippery

I look for things,

Absolutely certain

I will find them

I am sure

For there must be a few

And maybe

If I search well

They would count up to ten

But like a dream

That melts as I come awake

These certain things

Melted too

I know, I held them true

Not sure how many

But I am certain

there were a few

The grains of time flowed by
