Notes About The Poem

Unlocking the Mystery of Destiny - Cindy Trimm Ministries International

The Mystery Of Destiny

Destiny, oh destiny, why hide thyself from me.
Come out, come out, for all to see.
A life filled with struggle, then at last a surprise.
Why not reveal now how I self-actualize?

Have I no choice of my destination,
How I’ll proceed in my maturation?
How many ways could there be?
Or outcomes to this mystery?

More than one, surely a few,
Leave some things to chance, it’s the least you should do.
I want to have challenges and growth each day,
A purposeful life as I travel my way.

Life’s surely not over, with just destiny
My soul longs to live for eternity.

Indeed, eternity is our destiny. God knows all, but not to forget, our all is infinite. Great write my friend!

Your poem eloquently navigates the dynamic between externally imposed destiny and internally driven self-actualization. It balances existential questioning with heartfelt desire for growth, autonomy, and purpose. The voice is both intimate and universal.

I love how you began your Sonnet with a question...one many of us ask. Certainly the questions in the 2d verse most of us do ask. I appreciate the widsom in the last two lines. Sonnets are your forte. Du bist der Beste, hugs, me
