Primed With Possibility

Forget the Past but not enough

To neglect lessons learned from it

The Future, poised upon its cast

Is nothing yet, but dreamer’s ‘if’

Not what we’ve done with what we had

Not maybe-maybe-this-or-that

But what we do with what we have

This is where all of life is at

Not what we wish we would have done

Or what we say that we will do

Before and After hinge upon

The Now, that wafts twixt blue-to-blue

Ah, monumental moment-mien

That tugs the rising-setting sun

Where we are always in between

What we will do and what we've done

What will we do with the Now we hold?

Everything depends on this! 

...this 'primed-with-possibility-Present!

...and what is 'This'? 

This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Ps.118:24
