    This 3 sentence poem discusses how clinging to the past can trap us in loneliness as time moves on without us, making us irrelevant. While the past gives pause, the future gives purpose by living in the present and contributing what we can to tomorrow rather than vainly trying to recapture yesterday. The poem encourages moving forward rather than getting stuck in an ever shrinking space by dwelling on the past.

    Original Description:

    At the end of the year, in the quiet, this came to me.

    When time moves on but we do not, We risk drifting into an empty space, Risking irrelevance - even to ghosts others

    forgot, Trapped in an ever shrinking, lonely place.

    The past gives us reason to pause, The future gives us reason to live, Recapturing yesterday is a lost cause, Tomorrow wants to know what we can give.
