Riding on the Tail of Destiny

Often we think of fate as life's grand design
that we are predestined for a certain destination
although the journey twists and turns in the unknown
but we think of it as fruits  of what was sown

maybe destiny is a vessel we ride on
not knowing to where until a path begin to form
hoping we don't fall before we arrive
and live out all the fantasy of our life

living through choices made like ripples in a stream.
turbulence of life bucking us out into the storm
to persevere is to survive until the next crests
hit us again before we have a chance to rest

so are we indeed riding on the tail of destiny
hanging on until we are where we are meant to be
