Destiny Is Not An Excuse

Quick sands cave in depths of primal darkness In marshy mud reeds slither waiting to aggress Hope of escape from the whirlpool disappears Risk paves the life’s pathway for fate to ingress. If in miscalculation the insecure footsteps falter The sands and the reeds won’t wait much longer Animated they’d extend virile hands to capture If walking on the troubled life the travelers tire. The survival struggle would begin in fatal earnest In a journey where life wobbles in constant unrest The residual energy would strive and persevere To exist till the time comes to take the final rest. Destiny isn’t an excuse for one’s walk in the dark Lighting the pathway is the inner lamp’s work In glitter of wisdom the destination is seen clear On a journey of contentment life would embark.
