We cannot know

 We cannot know the future

we cannot guide the runes,

we cannot write our destiny

for that's already done.

We can embrace the future

whatever it may bring and

guide ourselves responsibly;

decide who we will be. 

Call to courage

The call to courage is not loud,

and so most easily missed, for 

it lingers in those places where

hope has gone, and whispers

through the cowl of fear; small

breath woven through words

and time, reminding us of 

who we might be, what we

might claim, when we choose

to be brave against all odds.
