If I knew then
what I know now,
then what I DID then
would not have led me
to this now
in which I know.
So no regrets.
I LIKE this now,
just like I did then.
‘
If I did NOT like this now,
I would probably blame my then.
Then my next now
might be equally questionable.

In the tapestry of time,
if I possessed the wisdom of now back then,
my past steps might have waltzed
a different choreography,
leading me to this enlightened present.
Yet, no room for regret.
For the tapestry I adore today,
I adored back in those yesterdays.
‘
And if this today were not adorned with fondness,
then perhaps my then would be indicted.
In this intricate weave of existence,
to tamper with threads of then
is to beckon an uncertain next.
