The Hands of Fate

Would like to share with you today, another poem I had written many years ago!

The Hands Of Fate

I began my journey with earnest vigour,

Eager to win the race;

So I looked ahead with solemn resolution

And walked straight at a swift pace

Each time I fell, I rose again

Found my way and moved on;

Never once taking a break,

Never once halting to yawn

But lo and behold! The hands of fate

That brought me to the dark;

When all the while I had walked just straight

Fate played with me a lark

I found myself in oblivion,

Not knowing where the path led

I searched around for some light but,

I knew not where my life head

Feeling lost and helpless,

I wished to give up and give in

But reminding myself of the journey I had made,

I stopped myself from committing this sin

I took out some time to look back, 

To reflect on what had brought me so far;

I pondered over all that I had gained

And decided not to let this darkness overpower

Not knowing still where I had to go,

I believed in myself and let fate lead the way;

And so I continue to walk slowly ahead,

Believing the darkness will soon go away 

I know the light will come again

And things will again be clear;

So I hold the hands of fate & walk ahead

In the darkness, without any fear
