Speculating on the Light

How often have you sat and thought
And wondered what the future holds?
How often have you dreamed of what may come?
How often have you speculated on
The coming of tomorrow's light?

How often have you sat and thought
And wondered what tomorrow brings?
How often do you worry, ponder, think
About those things you worry most about?
Those things that time will always change.

How often have you sat and thought
And wondered what the next year brings?
How often do you ponder quietly
Your life, your job, your living space
Your most beloved, your quiet time?

How often have you sat and thought
And wondered what new things will be?
How often have you wondered if and when
New job, new school, new place to live, new life
Perhaps new love, expected least.

How often have you sat and thought
And speculated future's view?
How often do you look out to the edge
And see perhaps a wondrous flitting time
Or maybe does it frighten you?

How often have you sat and thought
And wondered at tomorrow's cost....
How often do you care to think things through?
If what you wish and hope to happen
Will influence what's true?

How often have you sat and thought
And pondered what there will be new?
How often does another's mind and soul
Become your own, and then you wonder if
You might tomorrow entertwine?
