Emily Dickinson

Uncertain lease—develops lustre

857

Uncertain lease—develops lustre
On Time
Uncertain Grasp, appreciation
Of Sum—

The shorter Fate—is oftener the chiefest
Because
Inheritors upon a tenure
Prize—

You know, people talk about this being an uncertain time. You know, all time is uncertain. I mean, it was uncertain back in - in 2007, we just didn't know it was uncertain. It was - uncertain on September 10th, 2001. It was uncertain on October 18th, 1987, you just didn't know it.

Life Is Uncertain- And Because Of This

LIFE IS UNCERTAIN

Life is uncertain-
And because of this we live in anxiety and fear-

The strong shape the future as best they can
But even they cannot overcome all Time and Circumstance-

Life is uncertain-

Writing a poem is not knowing where it will end
Or the way a line should be stressed
Or whether it’s writer is right to write this now.

Life is uncertain
In the smallest and in the greatest things-

Our life our death-
What will be with our loved ones-

If some of us pray to God so strongly
It is also because we need help with that uncertainty –

Lonely as we are
Afraid as we are
Uncertain as we are-

We pray to God
To help us make our way wisely
In this uncertain world.

Uncertain Is A Hand To Destiny

uncertain is a hand to success
uncertain is a hand to lottery
uncertain is a hand to richness
uncertain is a hand to luck
uncertain is a hand to certainty of impermanence
wow! life is a bridge to uncertainty to oneness(+ and -)

Uncertain

You tell me to find another.
The tone of your words say your uncertain.
The look you give as you say this,
tells me of your vaugeness.

I'm uncertain of why you do this.
When you know what there is between us.
Yet you choose the seperation.
I curse this uncertain turn of loneliness.

Is it because you're scared of what's so blatant?
The love we feel. Is it far too real?
You tell a lie, and then deny.
What I feel you hide inside.

I should believe the words you said.
Then I look and just see dread.
That your heart will never mend.
If we were and it ends.

I'm so uncertain of this truth.
When will reality break on through?
I hope you realize there's no better.
You're the sweetest woman since my mother.
I've seen them all, I've had a few.
All I really want is you.

It's so uncertain.
I may never know.
If you love me just tell me so.

Seems Uncertain

It seems uncertain
I wish it was forgone
To know the version
That made life go wrong
Wish I had a clue
What rearranged our molecules
Mostly wondering
It seems uncertain
In times of trouble
Everyone joins a team
No one waves a flag
For all human beings
No ones excited
Unless they are divided
Someones going to have to give in
It seems uncertain
Id like to be
One of the faithful millions
But what I see
Is an excuse for the killing
Your denomination
Should be a private thing
How about a spirit
For all human beings
How could something well guided
Turn out to be divisive
Mostly wondering
It seems uncertain

Bitterly

Bitterly,
I walk away from a crying place
Where everyone seems uncertain
About where to go from here
Head down,
I wait without talking to her
It seems we're in different worlds
And maybe we are
But I hide who I really am
Bitterly,
I pray that this won't repeat
Nothing is what it seems, life lesson
Bitterly,
I walk away from a crying place
Where everyone seems uncertain
About where to go from here
Bitterly,
I walk away from a crying place
Where everyone seems uncertain
About where to go from here
Bitterly,
I walk away from a crying place
Where everyone seems uncertain
About who I am

Life Is Uncertain/ I Am Already At The Age

“LIFE IS UNCERTAIN/ I AM ALREADY AT THE AGE..

“Life is uncertain
I am already at the age
That it my work ability may end any moment
If I have work to do
I should do it as soon as I can
With all my heart and soul and might”.

I wasted today
And I will have no time tomorrow
And I waste time all the time now
I am old
And I should do better.

But I do not work
And so almost all my work will be left
Half – done uncorrected- worse than it could be.

Is there anything in the world
That can move me to a bit of courage?

Leaving the Long Ago Gone

Woke up uncertain...this morning
in everything
Was high without trying
stacking round peg
stacking square
going nowhere...

Drove to work but I wasn't there
tried to be myself
even if it's someone
I don't like

Caught enough recollections
to recall
just enough to get by
just enough to pass...bye

Went to bed uncertain this eve...
want to say in everything...
but I'm not certain.

Every economy is uncertain. Referring to this or any economy as ""uncertain"" is an unnecessary and pessimistic redundancy.

Lady Uncertain

Here with your loving eyes as they stare
Soundless words your mouth doesn't perform
Seeing you stand there all but a smile
Bitter you are because of your form
Your so unsure of what will be
As you lay your head down to sleep
Lady Uncertain
You dream of love in a different way
Yet you know not much about it
Those affections you give are golden
But so confused you refuse to admit
Open your eyes and take a look see
Your fairytale is way too deep
Lady Uncertain
Give you love and let that be
Your world and mine clash all together
Your warm, delightful and tender
My thoughts are nothing lasts forever
Lady Uncertain

A Time For Everything

There is a time for everything.
For some it comes too soon.
And the appreciation of the everything
is lost like a clouded moon.

For those that receive it later in life
the everything is the prize.
It awakens understanding
and opens up the eyes.

They grasp it fervently
and hold it oh so tight.
The meaningfulness of the everything
will never leave their sight.

Uncertain Sea

If your tide goes sweeping out to sea
Let it be- do not despair -nor cast lament
Let not imagination conjure rip and rent

For this may be- this journey on uncertain sea

A journey of things never imagined-grand
More exhilarating than things thus planned

Your adventure not planed but free- all upon the uncertain sea

In Uncertainty We Live

IN UNCERTAINTY WE LIVE

In uncertainty we live,
And in uncertainty we will die-
Uncertainty is with us
In all our loves and hopes,
Nothing can escape
The ‘not knowing’ which will always be with us-
Uncertain we are born
And uncertain we will die-
God help me contend with the Uncertainty
With greater wisdom and courage.

Krishnamurti

We are the world. The world is you and me, the world is not separate from you and me. We have created this world - the world of violence, the world of wars, the world of religious divisions, sex, anxieties, the utter lack of communication with each other, with no sense of compassion, consideration for another. Wherever one goes in any country throughout the world, human beings, that is, you and another, suffer; we are anxious, we are uncertain, we don't know what is going to happen. Everything has become uncertain. Right through the world as human beings we are in sorrow, fear, anxiety, violence, uncertain of everything, insecure. There is a common relationship between us all. We are the world essentially, basically, fundamentally. The world is you, and you are the world. Realizing that fundamentally, deeply, not romantically, not intellectually but actually, then we see that our problem is a global problem. It is not my problem or your particular problem, it is a human problem.

The Poem Of Our Life Is An Uncertain Poem

THE POEM OF OUR LIFE IS AN UNCERTAIN POEM

The poem of our life is an uncertain poem
Who knows what the day will bring?
We pray to G-d always for help and kindness
But not every day is the day we want it to be.

In this day too in worry and fear in hope and anxiety
I begin-
And pray to God it will be blessed.

Isn't It Better That Way?

How many years have I been given?
Nobody knows. I keep on livin'.
Life's my adventure day by day.
I don't know how long I will stay.
and isn't it better that way?

How many days have I been given?
How can I tell? I just keep livin'.
Life's inhalation, so I breathe
uncertain of what I will bequeath.
Life is uncertain, no guarantees.
It's one of life's intriuging mysteries.
and isn't better that way?

How many seconds have I been given?
Are there some left to keep on livin'?
Life goes so quick that when you look back
to your first little breath from that quick little smack.
so to me it's better that way.

Walt Whitman

Despairing Cries

DESPAIRING cries float ceaselessly toward me, day and night,
The sad voice of Death--the call of my nearest lover, putting forth,
alarmed, uncertain,
This sea I am quickly to sail, come tell me,
Come tell me where I am speeding--tell me my destination.


I understand your anguish, but I cannot help you,
I approach, hear, behold--the sad mouth, the look out of the eyes,
your mute inquiry,
Whither I go from the bed I now recline on, come tell me;
Old age, alarmed, uncertain--A young woman's voice appealing to me,
for comfort,
A young man's voice, Shall I not escape?

Crimson of Fear

`

Invisible but not voiceless,

This fire within me burning;

Fueled by things long since done;

Uncertain it would continue

And most certainly would one day end.


Resounding vermillion trains,

Travelling across frontier lands;

That began by fits and starts.

But this is just the beginning,

And most certainly is not the end.


Smearing the silence with my thoughts:

Scarlet ink on blue paper;

Conversing along the lines;

Uncertain it would continue,

And most certainly would one day end.


Slumbering souls awaken,

Speaking to us on paper;

Streaking sheets with stunning stains.

But this is not the beginning,

And most certainly is not the end.

Distress

Butterflies, trees and the clues for this triangle!
For i am in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Visualize the future with the expeditions of mankind and,
Do not distress yourself with the fruits of love;
For i am like an abandon colony.

A romantic dreamer,
And of the cheekbones to spare;
But, love can leave you uncertain! !
And like a 'Ghanaianlogist' in a distinctive territory,
For, i am like an abandon colony.

Aeronautics, astonautics, areodynamic;
Love can leave you uncertain! !
But, visualize the future with rthe expectations of life.

Why Go (Ferry Corsten Radio)

Don't go
I didn't know you'd be here
and I wasn't meant to come
I'd be sitting watching TV
If there was anything decent on
If I'd missed the taxi
Or found nothing good to weare
But for some uncertain reason
Some strange uncertain reason
This is how it all
It all began
Why go?
Why go?
When you could stay a while
If I made some coffe
Would you sit and talk some more?
I know words are uaually pointless
When you've used them all before
The way you smile fills the room
Stay a while kick off your shoes
Don't go
Please stay
It always happens this way
Chorus
The way you smile fills the room
Stay a while
Whats's there to lose?
Thea way you laugh
When I say
Don't go
Please stay
Chorus
