Denouement - Larry Kenneth Potts

[Larry Robinson]

Denouement


Sometimes

led

into discovery

scarcely informed

what perils

lie ahead

yet trusting

the way is right and clear

rich with adventure

stops in his tracks:

Wait.  Wait.  Is this journey

Recklessness  or  Fate?

Faith   or   Resignation?

Wisdom  or  Folly?

Still the pilgrim pushes on,

eyes open to unseen things

divining the path home

fears unspoken

ever forward

to survive 

tempests and dashed hopes

everything hinging  

on the very next living moment

to present

itself.                   

           - Larry Kenneth Potts
