Forecast of Uncertainties in this World

Forecast of Uncertainties in this World 

I unlocked  my planner  and set the timer, 

Mapped out the itinerary,  made everything 

Rhyme. 

I checked the screen  for a clear blue sky, 

But the world doesn't care  about  a "How or  a "Why",

The Forecast shifts from minute to minute, 

A brand-new hour with a surprise gathered in it.

I write down my future  in unending ink,

But the world  has an eraser faster than you Think.

There's no app to download  for what's coming next,

No warning notification  or heads-up text.

We're all just driving through a heavy  mist,

Checking off boxes on a broken list.

But maybe the trick to the shifting wind, 

Perhaps  is letting  the unexpected moments in.

You can't control where the whirlwind will blow,

You just  modify  your sails and let the rest go.
