Existence

What happened before me know not I, 

What happened after I came, I know but a bit, 

That which I know is also only in fragments, 

Fragmented enough to make me realise, 

That today I exist!

What to happen after me know not I,

What to happen while I am around, I know not either, 

Totally clueless on a tomorrow, 

Clueless enough to make me realise, 

That today I exist!

But what I do not know of, 

Or What I do know only in fragments, 

Drive my uncontrolled mind and action, 

Into going back and forward, 

A perpetual see saw - Mind goes back, 

Action goes forward,

Action goes back, mind goes forward!

Forget the life before and life after, 

What about the life where I jump

From past to future, 

Past to sulk or celebrate,

Future to worry!

Time - the defining reality, 

Forget if God exists, 

What about this state, 

Where body is here, 

But mind is going back and forth, 

And actions translate to past 

Or future, but never present.

If existence is everything but death, 

What would you call this state, 

Where you are here and there, 

Past, present and future?

So subtle is "Now"

That what I wrote above

Is also past and what you would read,

Is future!

Yes, we exist, but where really?
