Visionary Poem by Ivan Donn Carswell

not a matter of choice
more prospects of maturity
yet to be attained

they're future things - scenes
glimpsed or guessed from
mutable presentiment

and yet you're here and
now - a malignant portent
waiting patiently

where direst signs lack
authority to make malefic
mayhem out of contempt

so you're biding time
debating whys and wherefores -
a prophetic sage
