the past was good
even if it wasn’t
it’s hard to let go
of what you had
tomorrow will be good
even if it won’t
it’s hard to let go
of what you want
yesterday’s gone
tomorrow never comes
one a memory
one a dream
both dangle
false reality
lost in time
lost in my mind
this is my last day
trapped in time
as I release everything
and live only for today
Cody McCullough Writes: 
Ah reminiscences and hopes for the future do a lot for our perceptions, it’s good to be reminded that there is a hear and now, not just the journey from then to somewhere over there. I do have trouble living in the day when working night shifts though as I am continually a day behind, the rule being it’s not tomorrow until you have had a sleep.
Working nights would make it difficult to live in the day. I worked nights a long time ago. Nowadays I find that the night hours are when I come across some of my better writing ideas. I think it has to do with my mind finally being at ease.
Lovely!
Thank you. I’m glad you liked this poem.
Carpe diem… I love the idea of releasing it all in order to seize the day ….
Sending best wishes. Aquileana 😀
