Peeking Into The Future…

jacquelineobyikocha

Do you often wish,

that the future ahead,

you could surely foretell;

knowing every step?

Ω

I stare at the tea leaves

willing it to reveal its secrets, 

I swirl my cup gingerly

but nothing comes up.

ℜ

I am not a psychic

waiting on tea leaves to tell secrets,

I possess no crystal ball

to peek and tell the future.

Σ

What would life be

if everything is known?

For the fun of living

is to unwrap each day.

Let me ask a pertinent question, have you ever had your tea leaves or coffee grounds read for you? I am curious.

  2. No I am an old cynic but once a bedraggled old woman screwed her eyes up pointed a gnarly finger and squealed ” you girl won’t see your 3 score years” though I do not believe I was pretty worried on the run up to my 60 th birthday.
