To contemplate ones own fate
is a matter of great concern
It makes you ask questions
from deep within that burn
That place where need
hungers and yearns
for a life of another kind
to live the surreal in our mind

To contemplate ones  future  "could be"
folly that is for sure??
We cannot see our  tomorrow
to fix our gaze at all pure
We can set out plans
then embark upon execution
We boast about them
with great elocution
Only to find we truly have fate to trust
for we are all but dust

To contemplate your past
as if we could change
one stroke of time that's been cast
We stay in regrets
sorrows that pain
Contemplating changing the past
never offers  us gain

So what is life
to contemplate for TODAY?
Maybe it could be
to just walk the right way
For all we have of tomorrow
is borrowed time
If we contemplate how to use it well
maybe life will turn out sublime?

Great thoughts here, all I can say is to make the most of EVERY day live today as though it is your last.  Make the legends, make the myths, you have to work at making life worthwhile....  Same thing really!!
