future paintings

the future holds uncertainty,

a picture i can paint but can't quite see.

i pick up my brush and paint a stroke of red.

but wait - that's not what the future said.

'it was though!' i whined.

'i took note of all the signs!'

but the future can foreshadow

with big red rose buds and seeds.

still - what grows can turn out to be a weed.
