Uncertain Wheel


Original DDE™ surreal art: “Time’s Wheel of Uncertainty” by: rob kistner © 12/10/24

 
The great wheel of time
rises up through fog of history
midst missed-moments meadow
silhouetted by grey of mystery

this great wheel of time
turns ever slow and steadily
its fluid mass unstoppable
it revolves onward mightily

outlives the mortal mountain
bears the burden of potentially
sees ages and civilizations
borne and razed eventually

our frail lifetimes ride this wheel
how far — is not for us to see
with faith and fate, ’round we go
orbiting bold toward our destiny

as ever fragile temporal beings
of a most truly amazing bravery
we choose to dream of a tomorrow
for which there is no guarantee

though circling toward this future
of veiled and vague contingency
still, on we whirl — and dare to love
despite this vast uncertainty
enjoying the amazing mind-blowing ride
the sensations the emotions the mystery
