Unknown Future

poem by: Gerry Legister
Written on Jul 05, 2016

There is indifference if I fail by trying
But there is jubilation if I finally succeed,
To persuade contrast faces quietly marveling
With kindness to those who are in need.

There is love and sometimes there is peace,
The unknown scarcely threaten our realm,
To know the fear of hazards exist in space,
Will it be a virtual atmosphere or real pain? 

There’s assurance, both of spirit and soul
The Kama of surety on earth we try to claim,
Our conscience inherits this virtue as gold,
In heaven, who knows what will be our name?

The future is unknown; unseen by our deeds
Permitted only with glimpses of what we feel, 
Model upon other foundations reality succeeds
But those emotions are not always real. 

The unknown advent angels secretly proclaim
Celestial beings with stern human face arrayed,
How will their awesome presence reign?
Over the fallen nations that they upbraid. 
    
No pruning or pining or resurrection wishing
Entity elsewhere to share the unknown eternity,
We will stand with our lives overwhelming,  
Witnesses in the surrounding world of plenty.
