The Future Awaits
You can't protect yourself
From the future that awaits,
It comes to you like an elf,
Ambivalent to your fate.
The future is not a magical
happenstance like a fairy tale,
Although it can be theatrical,
Too much for anyone frail.
Sometimes we are more fragile
Than we expected,
Sometimes we simply pack our satchel
And wander paths undirected.
