Notes About The Poem

For Robert James Liguori's Contest " In The Stars By The Rolling Stones". Dated August 30, 2026.

Footprints Of Fate

Across the wandering life’s dynamic domain,
we traverse on the footprints of fate.
The tortuous pathway we pave for us
in the uncertain topography of life
meanders to the formless fortune 
where it takes the ordained shape,

We trudge aimless with nebulous ambition 
on the fated course of ambiguity, 
across the illusive hues of the sunset horizon,
where we get caught in the confining clutch 
of the storm clouds of providence 
as captive of the toxic milieu.

The night unfolds its fiery face 
within the insight struck by thunderstorm, 
every heartbeat finds the scars engraved by chance. 
The shadows of deceit dance with intent
within the melting conscience clouds, 
truth revealed in lies is hidden in the shine of the stars.

The surreptitious dreams we design 
dazzle with the stellar glow 
with heaven’s secrets coded for one and all. 
The whisper of celestial silence articulates destiny
for the mystified travelers following 
the tune of the singing stars.
