Uncertain

 

Write the date

In large red letters across the sky

Do the letters say danger

Or desire

Or dream on?

I can hear the future beckoning

See its slow hand wave me hither

Did I cross my Rubicon today

Or did a castle in the sand

Just wash away

With last receding wave

Of an ebb tide,

Last slap of a contrary destiny

Seeking to perplex me?
