Mutably Cataclysmic - Unbeknownst Reticence

O what forgotten providence,
to which my soul falls victim
on and off and on again,
indecision marking each page 
with dog eared brutality.

Know not, want not, we 
could never truly return
a moment as inconsequential 
as that which marks. . . 

Providential Dreams whose ends 
are more mutably cataclysmic
than their begins.

Can only be born of indecisive 
wonderlust,

Impendent scenes are nothing but
Providential Dreams
As providential dreams are nothing
But necessity.
