Past Tense: Simple

What ancient dark sorcery does our yesterdays infest
that so many of our present thoughts they seem to possess?
Why should we waste away a moment but perfectly fine
in frets over something that might or could have been in time?

What our minds entertain is quite often just simply futile...
and yet has the power to poison the fleeting precious now.
So instead of drowning in a future defined by the past
and contriving an intricate escape plan bound not to last...
Immerse yourself in what is, not what supposedly can be
Then you may life's real magic truly and gratefully see.
