Living in the Now

The start of the next Cancer Diary. I was waiting for my Chemo results.

Sat in the waiting room.

It’s dark in there,

stress in every corner,

pulling at your sleeve.

Telling stories…

make-believe,

dreams

of bright tomorrows,

for those

who play the game.

Sitting alone….yet not.

Surrounded by memories,

cold ashes of past lives.

I can’t stay here,

tied to the past,

while looking for a future.

A life that used to be.

I’m back now,

in a world I understand.

For me

there is no past,

no future,

only the now.

I’m living in the now.
