I cup my hand, hold it up to see my awkward reflection in a child’s snow globe, makeshift crystal ball. Peering there, I focus these hocus-pocus wishes and charms, chant spells of fortune to no avail. My future swirls in a hundred thousand indecipherable specks that tell me nothing of what’s coming. In time, I give up predilection for prediction and plow headlong toward tomorrow. Fin’lly I slow, Breathe in blessed beauty and pluck particles of promise from wide sky unconfined by tiny globe. Raising eyes to trace golden sun’s descent, I give thanks again. I wonder what the future saw in me?

I don't know what the future saw. But I see great things coming your way. Believing in ones self creates the karma that captures everything else

A beautiful heartfelt poem Dawn!
It sees the beauty of your heart, soul, mind, and the
love you hold so dear, and it wants to enhance all that you are!
