I looked inward in my search.

I journeyed back in time in my mind’s eye.

I reflected backwards, to find my former self.

I searched for some clue about how I got here.

When I had gotten there, I was nowhere to be found.

All that remained was a faint recollection; a faded photograph.

The place on which I relied to explain my present me had dissolved; history erased.

I must remain in the here and now.

I am left only with my imagination to remember what I once was.

Only today and what lies ahead exists now.

I am forever present.
