Dilemma
Destiny, an unseen lamp, hidden somewhere,
someone lighted for you when you had arrived.
You don’t perceive, it sheds a beam of glare,
and the ordained light travels unfaded,
illumines your pathway during the time allotted,
you get for the journey to be completed.
The free will that you design undiscerned,
the lamp makes it invisibly self-radiant,
enveloping your mind with belief unreal,
shows the road you’ve chosen to travel
to the obscure destination of shrouded fate,
even if you don’t will, it would.
On the way you pick up some flowers,
someone has made to bloom for you,
but you believe you’ve helped them blossom,
and celebrate the euphoria you create.
The rapture ends at the assigned time,
even if you don’t want, it would.
On the way you tread on trail of thorn,
but you think you would escape soon,
paving a new track of your desire,
won’t suffer on the journey for long.
The unexplained torment lingers on,
even if you don’t wish, it would.
The lamp igniter rides the invisible destiny glow,
to where you construct your free will,
permeates your deep senses unrecognised,
lying as dormant force covered by unawareness,
and by a process of self-transformation
gets transposed on the psyche as your free will.
