Lazy Mind

Afflicted by the assurance
of tomorrow,
begets the experience,
sterilises potential,
and starves us of possibility.

All that has occurred,
will again and again.
Such a premise – not hope,
but complacency,
and reason to justify the past.

Today will always be
the moment you’ve been waiting for.
Time exists at no other time,
than the present –
oh, how the lazy mind
gets us every time!
