You look but do not see it

This masquerade called life

You think you’re in the moment

But really that’s not right

You’re far too busy planning

Some future that may be

And miss the life around you

The one that you should see

But the pixels in each second

Are dense beyond compare

And though they’re in your vision

They do not linger there

You read just what you notice

No matter how it’s wrapped

So things they go straight by you

As time it does elapse

Then as your thoughts awaken

It quickly comes to mind

And all those wanted future’s

Will now be left behind

It’s then you’ll shift your centre

And dwell within the past

For living in this moment

To your feeble brain’s too vast
