Hopeful Certainty

A poem by Olorunsogo David


The future not embracing
The past long drawn apart
    confusion!
Mist!
                           Blindness!
A mirage would bee too hopeful
Only if I can see one
The path behind seems blurred
My pursuit I have lost
                                        lost!
                     forgotten!
                             unclear!
            unreal!
                               senseless!
Where did I begin?
                   madness!
          foolishness!
               insanity!
None of these
I started for a purpose
A one or many known not
The way back unsure
                Would I be lost forever?
Where no food to digest
     No shelter to dwell
There is a certainty
Death
             Death!
That death is only certain
     A relief
               Satisfaction
                         resolution
Something at least is certain
    Death
A destination sure of

Olorunsogo, Congratulations on your win. I'm overwhelmed on the outcome of my collaborations, I also gave a fair mention to those who did not follow the rules. Stop by my latest blog "MY FELLINGS" or my newest poem "FLESH" if you'd like or have time. Enjoy some of the collaborations on my list. Always & Forever ~LINDA~
