Precognition





Upon me came a precognition

I welcomed with trepidation

for its meaning ambiguous to me

was like the calm before the storm

peaceful waters turning to a raging sea

images to the future, with opinions they would form



Seeking fairytale dreams

that illuminated my mind

uncharted waters soon I would find

for it seems

the engines on this boat had failed

and into loves dangerous waters I’d sailed

paying no attention to compass’, or alarms

“steady as she goes” the heart listened to her charms





Broken oars would bring about futility

loosing this ship would bring humility

picked up the distress phone

but there was no one to call

all the while I should have known

that dreams can’t catch you

when you fall



And like a lost ship in the night

seeking the solace of the fog light

everlasting pain comes from bad decision

no future is in the past

I now know at last

should have listened...to precognition
