The Destined

In recent days, more than ever, I have begun to wonder what lies in my future.
Uncertainty is a wretched thing.
I don't like surprises.
Mystery yes.
But surprises,
No.

I guess it all depends on how the future is told. Is it told from the lips of the Creator? The one who planted us in the garden and set the dome above our heads? Or is it told from the lips of society? The communities who seek to take the world for their own and rule it with the law both spoken and the ones never said. Or is it told from the lips of history like the fall of dominos, the end a result of the beginning, and all the things of the past? If such a thing is true then is the future predetermined?
Can we call the future destined?
I guess the thing we truly wish to know is- How much of our lives do we truly control?
I can't say I know the answer. But tomorrow is just another word for today just not at the present.
I'll walk this road though it's foggy. I'll move along though it's a mystery. I'll choose my path and hope it's not empty. If I enjoy my life, I believe it does not matter whether it was in my hands or not. For if I end in joy, then it was probably better off in their hands than in mine.

The Children

I entered upon an open field set apart from the road on which I walked. It seemed far. And distance messes with the mind. But I believed I saw a chainlink fence, barbed wire at its top. It circled a building round and round keeping all within. Seeing this I did believe I should get back to the road. For darkness stands and I still, await the light that's at the end. Yet something still called me back to the fence that I had seen. A chilling haunting ghastly wind that was blowing through the grass. I turned back. As one does when faced with such a chill. For mystery is appealing. And strangeness has an attraction. As curiosity leads on. I followed.  There I saw the children. About two hundred there must have been. They slept on beds of stone, a single blanket for the cold. For their care, there were more children. As kids take care of kids. Take a child, place a guard and still, it's all the same. Where are the parents? Where have family's gone? And a...

The Possibilities

Today the dome is white, like the emptiness of a blank page. It reminds me of the gray sky I saw the other day. The day it seemed the world stood still. Today is different. Today the dome is a blank page. A page where the story is told through bits of inspiration that rain down. Each drop is an idea. Together they flood the streets creating rivers of creativity. It's beautiful in a way, but also sad and also angry. For as the drops fall from above the wind roars in rage. Perhaps it can be described as chaos. The chaos of a blank page. The chaos of ideas that rake the mind. The beautiful chaos that rains from above.

The Rain

I walk the road. The one that was laid before me. Above, the clouds still stand. A dark shadow overhead. I feel as though I have been here before. I look around. But familiarity has lost its hold in memory. I have no remembrance of this place. Just a feeling. That the dark is nothing new. I've dealt with it once before still uncertainty grips my thoughts. As I walk the rain falls. Each drop splatters on the ground. I look to the dome above. Does the world cry too? I look to it for answers. It gives none. But I didn't expect it to. I walk under a tree and sit. Me and the pouring rain. I remember the wanderers from before. Sometimes I wonder if the world knows the pains of each soul. Now I wonder if each soul knows the pain of the world. So I watch the rain fall. In each drop I see a story. A memory. A tear for the ones forgotten. A drop for the ones in pain. A cry for the ones who are lost. And so the world weeps. And I wonder.  Is peace found at the road's end? Or...
