How Present Survives



How differently the present survive ?
inbetween the web of past & future alongside,
 Sometimes,
like that honey safely kept in a stingy hive,
or like that sound of a floody wave of tide:
Sometimes,
like that creased cloth that needs a revive,
or like that unspoken clauses that you lied:
Anytime ,
Anywhere,
Somehow it survive !

The past was your scratched history teases the present with how it's done, teaches to be concerned,
The future is your blurred mystery. Seizes the present with what will come, leases paid to be learned:

Past was possible you have already seen,
Future is the magic box of your probabilistic dreams.

The present is the only perpetual reality, be it alive,
Don't be in illusions of past stories and future strives :

Remember
Anytime, Anywhere:
Somehow the Present always Survives.
