What Now

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Jul 06, 2021 

What now?
Where to now?
Place
in time.
Now.
Path
to today,
faded,
gone.
Gone away.
Never to
be no
more.
No way
back.
Looking around.
Here is
now.
In the
moment,
one after
the next.
See what
there is.
What
to work
with?
New ideas
bubbling up.
Old ideas
vanishing.
Dying off,
drying up
one by one.
Soon, all
will be gone.
Brave
new world,
with
nobody
else to
blame.
Pot shots
are easy.
Look around.
All yours
now.
