The Battle of Tenses

Within I lay - 

I, the paradoxical state.

The battle of tenses,

Present and past.

Future's non-guarantee,

Furthest from the present.

Past is the truth,

Yet defining is present.

Present, present in its' tense -

Granting life.

Yet we don't see

The gift we receive.

Life in it's true beauty -

Like the openness of vast greenery.

We see beyond - searching,

Finding problems in every facet.

Depletion of graciousness,

We want more.

Our minds much like our hearts,

Pulsating, feigning for a synapse.

Seconds are the new minutes,

Minutes are hours, hours are days.

The rapid flow, like the simplicity -

Of our blood. We don't know,

Although we search :

Who are we?
