Poem

How quickly a future can change
Guess it was time to turn the page
Never been one to plan long-range
Still the circumstance was quite strange
In my life there's no way to gauge
Not when observing at close range
My path I would never exchange
Karma I would never enrage
I'd like if someone could arrange
A peaceful outing or exchange

Odd part was it had been foretold 
Truth we tried but failed to withhold
The way we saw the scene unfold
What 'ere you might think times tenfold
It was night before we were sold 
On the facts that the cards extolled
Perhaps to some that which was doled 
Was a small amount to behold
Our eyes saw a mountain of gold
The way out of a stranglehold


A small smile still alights my face
Pleasant events rarely in pace
On this road but I will embrace
My new future in this rat race
Hands twined we leave our hiding place
Not one step shall I need retrace
Knowing the past we can't erase
Youth and innocence we replace
With wisdom strength and gentle grace
Wounds we bear proud scars we showcase


Though ugliness is everywhere 
Take a closer look and I swear
Beauty forgotten will be there
Will anyone take up this dare
I fear how the future will fare
The past we must look to compare
No repeats our ardent prayer
I will take this first step with care
Altruism has become too rare
I want to fix this jagged tear


Off my soapbox no more the sage
From this topic I'll disengage
Quickly the story must be told
With an open mind I was sold
Cards kept repeating was the case
Willing to stretch my knowledge base
A healthy respect to beware
Know the universe is aware
My story needs not to make sense
I know my truth there's no pretense
