VEILED

VEILED The future stood there, veiled A neutral expression on its face Showing its respect for the past As the present didn’t even last But hidden under the black lace A smile for all that surely failed It knew decisions would be made Some succeeding, but others not Noting all those lives still on track Yet restricted to only looking back Timing always perfect, on the dot As the future, it must be obeyed Few can ever see beyond the veil Only guessing at their own future The reality sure of its unique state Yet alternative futures lay in wait Dimensions sewn up with a suture Only time travellers to tell the tale
