True Destiny

 “A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.” – Jean de La Fontaine
 
Trials amid tribulation
failures, gradual adaptations
life a series of grafts
some taking, others left for dead
 
a simple weave
making their way thru your head
 
stitches try to make scars
more bearable  
but the shameful still bleed
from within
 
where are you my destiny
as I battle life alone in this bed?
 
stars have come out tonight
and music begins to play
sync my soul with happenstance
our future sits at bay
 
sip slowly from her chalice
don't let this one slip away
dreams aren't meant for dying
let the living excite the day
