before the coals

sometimes
our plans
hinge
on the whims
of others.
we sit
wait
in a chaotic world
with our
chaotic thoughts running
wild
strategies
are formed
to cut forward
into the haze
picture
a clear path
that is susceptible
to changes
as long as we wait
while moving forward
we can dance to the tune
of our heart
and let the vibes
move others.
