When Time Abides
a poem by The Unknown Artist
Whenever the time abides the way,
When some unknown future awaits,
Not striving to know the unknown,
Leads inevitably to unplanned ways.
Plans can’t spoil unexpected futures,
If in mistakes that planning provides,
A path to more than can be planned,
Leads further on the unplanned land.
Yet without a plan as future’s claim,
Allowance is forged in future’s past,
Unseen before in great rush to know,
What in those times abides the way?
Spontaneity grows as plans subside,
Creativity arrives to master the void,
And mistakes cannot wrong the way,
Unplanned future is allowed to play.
