Of this I am sure:
The sun will rise again
across a blue sky,
brilliant and warm
after the intensity
of the rain from the
blackened firmament.

Of this I am not so sure:
What this grand day will bring,
and if, under the fall of sun
and moon, I shall be alive
to seen the sun and rain again .

As a creature on this
blue dot, beholden to the
seasons that shape my life,
I live between such certainties
and uncertainties, corralled
in this glorious nether land
that always has an edge.
