I Walk

I surrender to the will of the fates at last For all my trials to the test I cast Remembering my agony my heart aches once more Unknown is the future, I am unable to secure In vain are my hopes dashed, time and again Replete I lie now, exhausted yet sane Try I did to run away from my destiny Yet it followed in hot pursuit wryly My aim, my ambition, my ever wandering mind To the fates I surrender, please be gentle, be kind

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
