UNCERTAINTY
UNCERTAIN,
Like an earthquake
Waiting to shake
The earth.
UNCERTAIN,
Like a volcano
Wanting to awake
From sleep.
UNCERTAIN,
Like trees reaching the skies,
Buried so long, appear
As rocks before our eyes.
UNCERTAIN,
As the wind sweeping this way
And, then that,
And back again in a single day.
UNCERTAIN,
As the clouds, dark and drear,
Blown across the skies
Now as light, white puffs appear.
UNCERTAIN,
As the dawning of a new day.
A new day; a new world
Borne upon the sun’s rays.
UNCERTAIN?
Is it really so?
Coming, going with such surety:
Living life, will we ever know
That life is a certainty?
We devise the calamity
In the recesses of our mind..
To the peace and harmony remaining blind.

Our first overseas trip was to Turkey (before the coup, and violence).
Cappadocia was our very first balloon ride, ever.
We stayed in a hotel built into the mountains a short distance from the balloon rides.
Our guide with 15 years experience stated he had NEVER seen snow here at this time of year. Another first!
But, maybe LIFE should just be a series of FIRSTS.
Certainly keeps it exciting!
