The world is a stage, and we are merely players- Shakespeare (at least it goes something like that!!)

There's no going back now
It's far too late
I had this precious thing,
Before
Not now
Past
Not present
But the future
is a mystery
Do I have the key?
To unlock the answer
Hidden in the present
Not past
Now
Not then
How do I unlock
the box of
the future?
