A doorway appears

in the present and the past

the future ahead

which role do I cast

In the past

times of joys and pain

pleasant memories

nostalgia fun to gain

The present filled

with adventures of today

the moment is here

time to play

The future is uncertain

could go either way

safety or risk

the road is gray

My thoughts control

the essence of time

beauty and serentiy

or bitterness and crime

Another moment passes

the future is now the present

have chosen serenity

in this segment

Each moment thoughts

become the doorway

the road is colorful

and filled with flower bouquets

Meditation over

a smile on my face

soul is comforted

by the feeling of grace
