As we go from four to two to three.
Thoughts of another time turn us.
Looking back and wondering, why and if?
Seeing what might have been with mind’s eye.
There is only now and tomorrow.
Past lessons and mistakes both guide and doom.
Why, maybe, if and perhaps.
Cloud our thoughts and slow our steps.
The promise looks at what was.
Asking only – if then was now?
