Crossing Fate

In life there will always be a crossroad People from each direction of that road Pass each other by, but yet they can clash Destiny intertwines them like yarn Tying the string of fate onto their arms Unaware of the events about to unfold. That bond that has latched onto them Pull them straight to one another In the most unexpected of circumstances Complete strangers who know nothing of one another Find themselves faced to faced As their bond begins to flicker like a candle. Trust takes time Dreams take flight Opposites begin to attract Perspectives clashing. What result can come of the bonds That were forged by fate's band? Is it mere coincidence? Divine interference? Does it just happen on it's own? Fate is like that crossroad It depends on if one shows up At the right moment and time When an opportunity shines Or a new friend's perspective Expands your horizon on what you see. One questions why Fate crosses our paths It can be an omen for good things ahead Disasterous that brings despair and misery It's how we take the time to look at it Fate can be our friend or our enemy. Yet we can't let it set the future for us Even if we cross paths with fate It is we who carve a new path Through the crossroad before us To decide our path in life than what's predestined.
