Uncertainty Is Certain
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

A coincidence, possibly.

An enigma, chances are

Of this possibility,

But I'm uncertain.

 

Walking backwards,

To a strong wind.

Deflects the certainty

Of getting out of breath.

 

But if I fall into a ditch,

Who can I blame?

Did the ditch just appear,

Or was it my stupidity?

 

Wonders of wonders

Are a puzzle to me.

They were here

Before I came to be.

 

I arrived unharmed,

Aimless though I was.

What lesson was learned,

Alas, no teacher found.

An enigma for sure. “That's life. That's what all the people say.” I wouldn't have it any other way.

George, uncertainty is about all we have that is evidential. I believe with certainty it is the way Divine Providence intended it to be. This is a marvelous metaphor you have penned. I wish you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael
