LEAVING FATE

we are chosen

the softest revelation

whispers in the ear

a guided gesture

resides in stars

every fallen sparkle

a trail of wonder

blinded by choice

good and evil are a delusion

the embers burn bright on both sides

nobles bend and humble the saved

the willing serve a master

we all feed the flames

until a whisper

strikes never

 

the audible silence

calm divine madness

the next toss of a coin

tumbles in promise

as water pours

over clasped hands

holding a prayer

no whispers in the ear

no stars fallen trail

no wonder of a tale

the rear-view mirror

frames a life without fear

action without regret

leaving without fate

Amazing photos and wonderful words shared my friend.
"action without regret
leaving without fate"
Sometime we need to test life. The above lines. Needed to feel alive. Thank you my friend for sharing the outstanding poetry.

"revelation", then "compromise" follows... then the daoist...until this: "and the dark wings of my brothers are a shadow cast across my face
as the fate I cannot escape". i'm lost, are we going back to the earlier revelation or charting our own course? #empowered#

It is as I say we are chosen when we are given the spark of life. We are driven by freewill it can free us as if you have made a choice. Our destiny never leaves us and to what we are born will always be with us. These things shape us into what we are as individuals. Whatever your choice, which ever road you choose you will arrive at what you are destined for. In the beginning I embraced the whisper of destiny. Now I am
indignant, I ignore the whisper and wish to test my fate. Thank you for reading and leaving a review.

Destined if you do, destined if you don't. Even when it doesn't seem like it. Illusion of choice by the user. The pics suggest to me surrender, a leap of trust into this suspected experience. Thank you for your words Sheer, they are always fun for me to fall into:)

Ua, no matter what the grand scheme has designed for us we have free will with that we are always testing our own fate. Thank you for the Review.

The first thought that comes to mind is human nature and taking chances. That person jumping off the building is flipping his own coin; heads he wins, tales he loses.

To look back at the loses is a part of a past that can't be changed. Life is a crap-shoot in many things we do.

Liked this. :)
