Fate

Fate is not funny
It leaves lines on your face
The race is not set
In stone
Like in graves
And gravity calls
Place

Yet
It falls upon us
With flicker and flames
Then gone to remember
In moments
With names

Fate leaves you lonely
It’s echo no tears
With fears 
All to bind you
The missing of years

Not nearer 
Nor clearer
It's fate that is seen
In each with a day done
Yet not in a dream

You say you don’t see it
The bit and the brought
In the little while
Don’t smile
Its fate you 
See sought

Fates then's a lesson
You see staring
At the door
More or less
It’s you

Don’t see 
Me

That’s
Fate
Nothing more
