Fate Or Mind

Straight path, straight fate, long line? Life lands feet here with no other sign Move slow, move fast; there is no escape from your time Strange path, strange fate; who's life? If the path of your fate is truly pre- defined...... Your path is not thine? If fate controls your state why have your own mind? Your path, your line, your life? Follow you, follow your mind, create your line. Your mind is your fate........... All of the time.

I love the message of your awesome write TIRO. You are the master of your own destiny... I love your line; 'If fate controls your state why have your own mind?' That just nailed it for me. Very poetic and strong. You make a very compelling point with your great poem! Enjoyed!

Hi Susan, Thanks very much for your comments. I think that our minds are the strongest device we have for dealing with life. Cheers, TIRO
