There is no crystal ball
to reveal a future not yet formed,
waiting ahead of time's pace.

The new present waits
to disconnect from itself,
dissatisfied in the moment's haste.

Replaying a past already spent
is a heavy, empty weight—
filled with mistakes you cannot erase.

Walk the earth map
guided with Christ's compass
and the golden rule.
Preparing the soul's journey
Helps one meet those quiet intrusions of fate.
