The Blinding Eye of Desire

The Blinding Eye Of Desire We begin at a breakneck speed and a hectic pace Toward the finish line yearning to win each pivotal race Ambitions could prevail over adversity beneath skies or beyond Yet urging fate to hand the prize is like mining gold from a grain of sand Penned: 1/6/2022 5:54 p.m. Lake Worth Florida USA

Interesting comparison there, Anselmo: 'Mining gold from a grain of sand.' Perhaps you've coined a new saying: 'Can't squeeze gold from sand!' ~ Quotes and Quips, Gershon

Anselmo, you have expressed a very sensible thought. Fate is the one who makes all the decisions.

Thank you for your comment. Sometimes one may feel so sure about what he/she wants and where to end up, but fate is the ultimate judge, regardless. Take care Lasaad!...ab

Thank you! Destiny makes the rules, not soothsayers, popes, dictators, queens or kings... Looking forward to your next piece!...ab
