three destinations

i met

a wise old soul

who let me in on a secret

consider if you will
he said
three possible destinations

Yesterday

is better known by the name 

Regret
journey there
and you will find

it contains
great masses of people 

Tomorrow

is famously known as

Worry

and it too is overcrowded

the ancient eyes of the wise old soul
brightened

I submit for your approval

said he
the third destination

Now

it's best known as
This Moment

it's almost uninhabited

it's vast and spacious

and absolutely brimming with possibility
all it requires is a keen eye and a bit of faith

truth be told 

he said in a whisper

it’s the only real place to live

i wanted to hear more

but I was running late

and I had to go

i wonder if he’s still there
