week five the future is beyond our reach

week five the future is beyond our reach


The future is unknowable



the future
is beyond
our imagination

beyond our abilities
even as we search
for it

the future
goes forward
the present
soon becomes
the past

the past becomes the present
the present becomes the future
whatever will be will be
que sara que sara
as the song puts it

Poem should be inspired by the prompt/image in some way
A minimum of 12 lines, no maximum
There are no form requirements
