Fate and the False Hope

Fate and the False Hope Arrow of fate flies silently straight targeted mark is found never too late Man thinks himself master of his fate forever the fish takes in hopes bait Time clouds storm right on along men, ants in a loud, dusty throng Vanity stirs in such shallow hearts unmindful of Fate's piercing darts Burrowing deeply into their mound seeking treasure never to be found Their Queen , mistress of dark lust deep down epic lamentations or bust Fate flows readily into the dark deeps man wickedly schemes even as he sleeps Robert J.

Wow Robert, this is a bit darker than you usually write and I enjoyed every word! Profound and a bit mystical too!
