Dear diary,
I am waiting as ever, patiently
for those mysteries of the universe
to unfold... before I get too old
and, they outgrow their usefulness
in the grander scheme... of me~

bravo
An interesting thought! Oh, how we are seduced by the arcana and esoterica of the the universe! bravo... bravo... bravo...

For all the mysteries to unfold, you will live a VERY long time! My own personal opinion is that whatever one needs revealed often is when they are responsive to the answers.
"the grander scheme of me" so implies there is much of ourselves we've yet to learn and express. I like this poem very much! ~ K

Ah..the mysteries of the universe..so tempting, and yet..if they were revealed, however would we dream? Excellent write. Best of luck in the contest.

All of us you have passed a certain age (and stage) can very much relate to this note to the self. A very nice reflective quality about this "request).
A good one - made my mind wander...
Thank you for this entry.

Dang, this is raw. I love the way you wrote this, especially in the sense that is a diary entry of some sort. I like the small tidbit of knowledge both personal to yourself and perhaps to others that is included in this. Excellent.
