The Veiled Destiny

The Veiled Destiny
I proposed myself but did not take into account
that it is forbidden to provoke fate,
I set out to reach, discover and contemplate
its origin, birth, or source,
its roots

I tried; I swear!
but I found nothing but madness
and in the endeavor I understood,
that that target 
the reason nor the eye could hardly reach it.
the string of a bow;
it never shot an arrow by itself
for that, you need an archer

...But also, permission to hit the dartboard.
