Unknown Future

Can we not see another day
Anticipate years- a life
Reaching for distant dreams on distant shores,
Praying that they amount to something- praying
Everything will fall into place? I pray

Did not Achilles know his fate, plan his life?
In the end, he picked one day- one moment.
Enjoy today, tomorrow is as distant as death-
Miles and miles, minutes and moments
Make the most of today, but strive for the future.

Young are we- strong, mindful, yet foolish
Looking for moments in today- and yet
Overwhelming Future looms on the golden horizon-
Vague shadows lingering in our minds, so beyond us-
Even us, but today makes the future knowable
