Clouds of uncertainty

Grey
Darkening
Turning black
Despair points a mocking finger
Through the pockets of the unknown

 The gap widens

The image is now blurry
Sketchy
The voice inaudible
Maybe it’s not even there

It’s not an easy step to take

The crocodiles may be on either side
It has always been a gamble
Waiting is the safest option

It is too much

Too much to bear
Wait
Nearly,   nearly,      near
Wait
Waaaiit

No!

A sigh
The wait continues
The sadness continues
Thoughts racing; thoughts unclear

Reassembling the image
Rebuilding the voice
There must be a way
It may be over
Uncertainty
Despair
Ah! Well!
