Window of Future

Veil of a light shine brightly to my face
blocks my view against a glance
unto the window of after today
   each day I wake up I try
         to take a glimpse
A stone of puzzle reside in my chest
the future remain not exposed
along the road of hope

As I struggle day by day with heavy heart
with focus that I will cope
Assume I'm a sibyl; am able to forecast all:
   Years upon years as struggle go on
        yet the future remains unknown
I know when is the time and what to do to succeed.
I will sleep and have fun till a wee of the second,
   I will then do a little work and within 
       some weeks I'm successful

I conjure  those who claim to be the seer
only HE is the knower and the seer
of an unfailing future
while tomorrow remain unrevealed or obscure
                           an unfailing future       
      as it is a tale of coming and going
           as struggle for life goes on

This is deep Afolabi, the future at times is plain to see, however I'd rather not look. A clever write. I like how you master any theme you write about... LINDA

If He will he might reveal it a bit, if he will he might change what he shows to man kind without a notification because He is Mystery. The sibyl can see a fail future, only hope, faith and prayer guide to the plain future.

HE, having decided that Man should not see behind the veil of Isis, sister-wife of Osiris, gave us the ability of prophesy, which is a Greek word and means, " To tell something before happens" Sybil and Pythia inspired by HIM may lead us towards the truth but it takes our own inner development under HIS light to achieve it! Excellent profound writing with metaphysical overtones my friend, A.M. A seven!

He reveal a bit of his secret to the Man kind, Sibyl can see a fail future while He is the seer and knower of an unfailing future and our tomorrow remain obscure" we are alive today we can't guarantee tomorrow even the Sibyl can not. Only hope and faith guide us to the future. Thank you for your pleasant comment I do appreciate it.

The future remains unknown: we all pursue the future. whether we will succeed or not we don't know, we only believe we will. Can we all be successful in life NO, yet the future remain obscure. Thank you TIM for your pleasant words it is really appreciated.

There are so many struggles in life Andrea. Either we make it or not struggle for life goes on. Despite that the rich have been blessed with wealth they still continue to struggle because they want to remain the rich and they want to be the richest. Thank you for dropped by Andrea I do appreciate your present.
