uncertainty

Uncertainty,

My companion; my friend

In love
In life
In faith
In hope

We embrace – you and I

You strike me

You stroke me

You doubt me

You trust me

Uncertainty

My companion; my friend

What can Security offer in light of you?

What does Precaution achieve when you are near?

What could Assurance say to deter you?

Confidence bows in your presence, Uncertainty

In talent
In health
In money
In knowledge

You reign. You are king.

I do not presume to understand your ways,Your Majesty

And I know better than to inquire

There is but one question that haunts me

Only one thing that I must ask

Why?
Uncertainty

You name is response enough.

Uncertainty, who will oppose you?

Uncertainty, who will challenge?

Your adversaries are held captive – is there no one to contest?

Every truth is held in paradox

Each unknown springs from the known
Without what is, what is not can’t exist

Uncertainty,

My companion; my friend

In love
In life
In faith
In hope

I have found your weakness

I have spotted your Achilles

Your armor is not impenetrable

Your walls can be breached

I am planning an invasion

I will betray you
I am betraying you
I have betrayed you, Uncertainty

The man in the Iron mask

The only face you cannot wear

The only title you cannot own

I am certain I have found it.
