Destiny

Dangling; from the ledge of impervious fate
Blindfolded; step beyond the intangible gate
Blunders; veer around deceptive curves
Pull up those bootstraps; then tighten those spurs
Rely on the inevitable; oh, fools beware
Oversights and cover ups; but who will care
You thought you'd taken all your hits 
Indiscretion; missed purpose just by an inch 
And the cliffhanger still awaits

Just That Archaic Poet Date: 10/23/2013 1:36:00 PM Was this inspired by a song, K? It reminded me of your other poem that was inspired by a song. Impressive piece as always from you.
