Destiny

Who knows what the future holds?
Fate laughs loudly in our faces.
Scientists say our sun will die
becoming firstly a red star.

Its final stage they predict
will be a black hole.
Do the moon, stars and planets  
affect our destiny in life?

Or is it our own choices
that set us on our path.
Will we one day return
maybe in another form?

Are we blown hither and tither
like a leaf blown by wind's will?
Will we again see our loved ones?
That lies in the hand of destiny.
