Fate

FATE


Conceived was I in the vastness of infinite
Time,
Developed in the womb of never dying
Cosmos,
Born under the watchful eyes of the vault 
Of heavens, 
Breast-fed by destiny’s inescapable
Commands
And
Nurtured by the laws of unyielding   
Providence, 

Thus  

The unswerving path of fate, now, obediently to 
Follow I have!

Fate's path is indeed an unswerving one. Follow obediently but also willingly. Thank you for sharing these pearls of wisdom in such eloquent style, my friend. Licia :-)

Herodotus the Greek historian had said that not even the Gods can escape their fate! Seneca also expressed a similar view! Thank you for your visit!

Oxi den kaneis lathos! Dearest Eileen, thank you very much for your visits and for your comments that always are in the superlative degree! You are so kind and cordial that I feel a simple "thank you" is not sufficient to express my appreciation!

All of mankind has a fate bestowed upon them, and it truly is an inescapable one! I just love how your poems flow, they move along quite nicely and fluidly as if designed for a special kind of speech, a higher order of speech! This is an awesome and grandiose write here my friend! I surely loved reading this delightful poem this evening! What a brilliant piece, written with a masterful third eye, Great Work!!
