what promises must I make to you

that I'll only break and feel bad

about disappointing you?


why can't we live fully in the moment

and so love in eternity?


our lives are passing rapidly

things we used to do we no longer can

despite the memories that make us think


it all happened just a second ago

why can't we live in that perspective

or have we not earned it yet


being too much in a worldly moment

that can only offer a mirage in the desert

or a mind wandering into its freezing polar moment?
