now the world looks clearer to me

for i focus on where i am

can’t go back to yesterday, i refer to it now and then

tomorrow seems so far away if i am concentrating on today

everything that is happening is going on right now

i didn’t always live this way i was either trying to repair my past or anticipating the future a senseless, hopeless task

now, affords me the freedom and relief of the bonds of yesterday and the images they create

so i am as free as i choose to be one day at a time, the wisdom gained may help me further down the line, but i must rely on what i already know to see this day to the end

tomorrow when the sun begins to rise the process begins again, but for now it is of no concern for i must be living ”now”
