Unknown

There is a space in time when everything collides

It is the process during change

When all the factors meet at the centre 

and the outcome is unknown

The few things known are the basis for forward momentum

But all the what ifs are the things threatening to crush

For an analytical mind

Each and every possibility must be looked and weighed

For the free spirited mind 

The outcome of choice must be clung to

If one is an optimist then regardless of mind forward momentum is easy

If one is a pessimist then regardless of mind forward momentum is difficult

But if one is all of these things

Forward momentum is next to impossible

They get stuck in the centre of all the choices and possibilities

Drawing, like the centre of a vortex, all the choices and options around them

In doing so they create a cage which they cannot escape or see beyond

But like all things this vortex too possesses energy and therefore momentum

So it moves forward based on the choices made when there was some clarity

Until it reaches that spot of the known which started it all

Then optimism or pessimism can rain on that parade

And once that shower is passed

New choices must be made to progress from that spot 

and the vortex begins again
