The uncertain

Gripped by fear, of the certain

We embrace the uncertain

It becomes what we know

We believe it’s a permanent glow

Like waves afraid of a beach

We float, to be out of reach

Of a promise we silently made

Emerging from the womb’s shade

That promise, time may forget

To live in joy, not regret

Entering is unique and uncertain

Leaving is common and certain

There isn’t a reason to be fearful

Neither is there one to be cheerful

This moment, it is very certain

But thoughts take us to the uncertain
