Vicissitude - Visitor's Poem

by Bernadette Pallen
(California, USA)

Each choice is an invisible vicissitude
which manifests itself through zeitgeist
and into the spotlight.

Each choice becomes a visible vicissitude
which manifests itself eventually
uncovering any illusion or mask
and unto the eyesight of all men.

Wherefore, the vicissitudes of life
can recycle inevitable complication,
consequences, frustration, and exhaustion.

But with reflection and remorse,
Humility becomes a gift.
Free will, purpose.
