The Right Timing

Prophets profit.

How do you tell people you can see the future?

I'll tell you one way, you do it with a sheepish grin

You tell them with sincerity it's synchronicity

You say I am a beloved child of the universe

That will show them how wise you are

But deep down you know that is unsatisfying

You want to scream I AM even you if don't know what that means

You want people to know the lives you lived

the endless cycles of cruelty and heroics you have been through

The magic you have whispered and spells you have written

Yet the veil is there and people will say that isn't right

This is a fantasy right? You can't have those powers?

Can you? CAN YOU?

CAN YOU PLEASE JUST TELL ME IF YOU CAN?

I pick a card from the table and it's The World.

Maybe it is time for change.
