What Lies Ahead

A fact about adult life is that you see the very things you'll never adapt to coming toward you on the horizon. You see them as the problems they are, you worry like hell about them, you make provisions, take precautions, fashion adjustments; you tell yourself you'll have to change your way of doing things. Only you don't. You can't. Somehow it's already too late or is it - Richard Ford

The uncertainty that future holds has a way of creeping up on you. A palpable but invisible carapace it creates is deluging at times. Everyone keep cueing you about that unpredictable future and the cards that it may unfold and how you should be prepared to change and accommodate. The sudden showers of suggestions, advises and facts are presented in such a realistic way that you just end up confusing about everything that's around. Only the time will tell what lies ahead then why so much hustle, preps and apprehensions about something which is so far off..

They say    

it's going to be fine

nothing to worry

oh dear,

still there's time.

Quietly they whisper

something else too

beware time slides fast

puzzled will be the times

tricky to construe.

Concentric miasmas

leaves me exposed

my dear repose

where have you gone ?

where are those

simple promises

I can rely on ?

Despite that, keep going

and I always will

let life unfold

what it veritably holds

ahead lies the tracks

of booby traps.

traps are real 

neither win nor loose

matter of choice 

and what you choose

it can only show me

what lies at the horizon

what lies ahead

reach there and move on 

Sometimes not knowing what lies ahead works out better, better than anything we can possibly conceive of..
