You have this way about you,
and you know it.
So don’t sit and attempt to act
innocent.
We both know the feel of guilt,
and recognize it for what it is.
We've crossed those lines
too many times
and there are no reruns
like you see on reality TV.
So stop looking in
your rear view mirror.
Move forward, into high gear.
Hindsight isn’t where
your focus should be.
Next time watch for sinkholes
on the road ahead.
Be ready to exit
long before
the sign.

Martin, thanks. Yep, I don't know about everyone else, but I've wasted too many NOW moments reliving THEN moments.

So live in the Now? I've never quite mastered that one, but I'm trying.

I like the poem.

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes art
