On Uncertainty

In the absence
of clarity
let uncertainty
be your confidence.

Let it be
the intangible proof,
the one
that does not
need a why.

Let it be
a kind of familiarity
the unknown is offering
you to,
when all direction is lost.

Someplace,
sometime else, you’d find
something different.

Here, find yourself
one foot at a time,
one step after another,
wandering through the beauty
of the wilderness.
