Perspective

Looking at the majestic, towering tree,
The countless summers I do not see,
Nor the frigid winters of the last century,
I see only its state in the present.

I gaze at the whimsical, winding blue stream,
But I see not the glacier nor condensing hot steam,
Or the millions of years where the soil reigned supreme.
I see only its state in the present.

The stars shine like beacons in the velvety sky,
But I can’t see the countless who’ve watched them drift by,
Nor the dreamers that chased them, attempting to fly.
I see only their state in the present.

I stare at the mirror, pondering me,
The decades of struggle, are all that I see,
Concerned with what's next and what I could be,
But no matter, I am only my state in the present.
