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

Beata Agustin Date: 1/25/2025 4:09:00 AM 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. Login to Reply
