Uncertainty

Uncertainty is humanity,
That which alters not the thoughts,
Yet gives it a try and confidence should be a better fate!


Premium Member What Moves Me

day by the water
soaking up rays
reflections
calming
blue dreamy skies
ready to face the uncertainty
of the unknown

Premium Member winter twilight

in foggy fishy breezeless weather 
confused stars with doubt and uncertainty blink
pain within, the moon wanes

Fear Unbraced

Fear unbraced,
Not in the pit of my stomach
But the cheeks of my face
Uncertainty quite abated
Superfluous words make me somnambulated.

Knock softly
Even angels whisper
Peace is radiant when
We love

Tomorrow the gift
Tomorrow the forevermore

Restless Thoughts

Afraid of what 
The future might bring
How odd the feeling
Uncertainty brings
Unfamiliar thoughts
Race to & fro
Till they stop
How can I know?

Love Letters

Life is a dirty postcard,
I'm the one
with the permanent tan.
She wears the crown of filth
and beauty, and I
lose myself
in the uncertainty
of her gaze.

Legacy of Fear

On a battlefield lined 
  with the blood of dead letters
I slay the monsters of uncertainty
   —and their legacy of fear

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2013)

The Gloaming

The Gloaming 

In the gloaming,
Light fades and shapes lose their edge,
Uncertainty creeps in.


In the gloaming,
Leaves whisper and owls cry,
What can’t I hear.

Premium Member When Nothing Makes Sense

Dense clouds of uncertainty hoover
Causing a fog of perplexity
Ending will lead to takeover
For trying to resolve complexity

Breaking Uncertainty

A flame in my gut,
That is filling me whole.
My thoughts are a hurricane,
Out of control.

With eyes wide open,
I tear the dark veil. 
I have decided
I will not fail.

Assassin

The uncertainty of life is deeply rooted in my mind. I am transfixed with the notion of death. 
It stalks like a cleaver assassin, waiting patiently hidden beneath a quiet mind.

Premium Member Alone

Alone during my childhood years 
Alone I stand as an adult
Fighting off tears and all my fears
Amidst the uncertainty and profound confusion
Of my younger years
I stand alone

Premium Member Last Breath

Often afraid
Thoughts of the end drawing near
It’s total uncertainty 
Permeates with fear

Inevitable for all
The complete unknown
Abandoning loved ones
To depart alone ….

Right To Die In Peace

When this pandemic ends,
I want to be ready to die
in peace...
You can't live like this, with
the uncertainty of our death...
we must be sure
about our life and our death... !

Where

Crawling slowly into the notion,
Undeterred by obstacles before me,
Pressing onward with determined uncertainty,
Seeking guidance where none appears,
Pressing on shedding fears.

Premium Member Acceptance of Uncertainty

Whatever happens, happens
I leave it all up to God
I'm riding this life shotgun
Fate is at the wheel

Premium Member A Simple Choice

Walking among our clouds of doubt
Our fate is sealed
with innocent ambiguity
Our steps are laden
with blind uncertainty
Our yearnings, like cliffs
fall away to guiltless verity
