There was a time when it all made sense

And my life lay clear ahead
What arrogance I had, to think
Anything could be so predicted

There was a time when my path was bright
Illuminated like a highway, unquestioned
So few shades of grey, no concerns
I never considered there’d be issues

There’s always more we cannot see
Both within and of the world
I didn’t know myself at all
And people still confused me

For life to even make sense at all
We simplify our truths
Eliminate the uncertainties
And lower the resolution on life

I cannot know what lies ahead
So I hypothesise, plan and dream
I try to welcome all this complexity
And only learn from where I’ve been
