Looking back, drowning
In vision of what could have,
Would have and should have been.
Diving deeper into oblivion
And losing sight of what
Is actually there. 

Learn to observe the oblivion
Of thoughts and outcomes,
That seem bottomless,
Without swimming into nowhere,
Until the new becomes bearable
Until drowning is no longer a possibility.

Keep the infinite thoughts at bay
Lessen the what could have,
Would have and should have been
And strengthen what is,
What did and what can be
But be careful not to
float too far from Earth. 

Stay grounded while peering
Into the universe, deep space,
And galaxies far away.
It will soften the reentry;
The landing back into reality,
Back to what is actually here.
