Unknown

Sometimes

I long for the days that I didn’t know any better

When I didn’t know what was missing

When I didn’t know what was taken

When I didn’t know what I’d given up

Or simply

What I didn’t know.

But today I am grateful

For the hard decisions

For the lessons forged in the depths of unknowingness

For the beauty in the awkward

And the

Perfection of right timing.

And tomorrow has yet to arrive

What will unfold

Is yet another unknown

In a sea of possibility

As I sit

In the presence of what is.
