"DO NOT WALK ON THE GRASS"--grin!
--Photo by Steve E
MAKE IT HAPPEN, MAN!
Fear is near
havoc amok
destiny hovers
stone-hearts
useless warts
destiny loses
seen as majestic
mountains of travesty
destiny alive?
Life foiling like
roiling clouds
destiny sucks
mountains sink into the sea
on top of one is Thee
Oh destiny, benevolent.
music of muses
playing four strings
are we just puppets
sweet, simple things?
with destiny
Whatever else offered in life,
God...can You not remove
our destinies—or improve
how they shape?
"My son...
destiny does not shape your fate
destiny IS that fate!
Only one can destine
change.
One only to rearrange
fate.
That one...
Shhhh! you!"

nice little secret you got there...smiles...we shape it with every decision we make...and we can curse it all we want but point the fingers at ourself...
ReplyDeleteI believe in destiny .
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image.Amazing poem.
Destiny...oh destiny.....nice write, Steve.
ReplyDeletePeace to you!
Shhhh, You also hold the secret to every mystery to ever trouble your mind...if only we would allow ourselves to remember. Sometimes the best advice is the simplest. Great share for OpenLinkNight!
ReplyDeleteEvery single step and a change is made, whether we stub our toe or move away. Really making me think, that can't be good..haha...truly wonderful verse!
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it, Steve. And herein lies that "free will" they taught us about.
ReplyDeleteAnd I believe you... we are the shapers of our destiny.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that header quote..ha..ha... so true ~
Have an amazing day ~
You must have been reading my thoughts from your side of the ocean, peep.
ReplyDeleteSo true its us only, who can change that fate, despite or- better- thank the sack we carry on our shoulders...
Nice to visit my dear friend-peep again
<3
Yeah.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in a passive destiny.
I believe in a free will and in "Thy will be done".
some deep thoughts in this steve... had to smile about the not walking on the grass and about the conversation with god... sounded strangely familiar...smiles
ReplyDeleteDestiny and fate are vague ideas of ideals loaded full of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteInteresting read.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!
ReplyDeleteEspecially this:
mountains sink into the sea
on top of one is Thee
Oh destiny, benevolent.
You enjoyed yourself! Good I'm glad.
ReplyDeleteFate-Benevolent ? if WE are( in action) I suppose...We gnaw away at the edges as we go. Feels: destiny is kinder than fate.
I guess I don't like the word.
I don't trust 'long term' outcomes;
trends are better.Still we do arrive
eventually at death,that's a fact!
I'm there with you, brother.
ReplyDeletea lovely pacing with this poem.

LADY NYO:
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind to this fiddle player thanks!
IZZIE:
Are you the only one notices that I'm having FUN? Well, it's true, girl!
JESSIE:, I'm fond of that line also. Thanks!
RAVEN BLACK:
Yup, the many thoughts on 'destiny' and 'fate' make for a very crowded track (and all crash on the far turn?--grin!)
CLAUDIA:
Yeah, I like 'conversations' with God in some posts! Makes it fun!
FELISOL:
Yessss, that 'free will' always gets in my way, especially when I don't ask God what it IS--grin!!! (I don't know what that meant, either!)
SWEETER:
Hey, glad you dropped by...do it again some time huh? Big grin! (for good friend!)
HEAVEN:
You too, I love to 'see' you here!
PATTIKEN:
Free Will takes a lot of time--those decision between 'right and wrong'. Especially when I try to turn 'wrong' into 'right'!!!
Pat Hatt:
I have stubbed my toe so many times, I don't wear shoes any more. People say I'm crazy, those who even b other...just because I'm the only one they see riding 70 mph barefoot.
(in a 45-mph zone--maybe THAT'S the reason???--grin!
NATASHA HEAD:
So supportive you are. Sometimes I wish someone would tell me some criticisms--well, not a WHOLE lot, of course! Thank you very much!!!
AYALA: I'm really enjoying your blog posts, girl. Thank you!

You have strong beliefs about things also, and you are not afraid to stand up and promulgate them. (Wonder if you had to look up that word--is it in Pakistani dictionary???--grin! Thank you for commenting, friend! PEACE!
BRIAN:
Of all Peeps here, YOU, Sir, pinpoint regularly everywhere with accuracy, the meaning(s) of what the Peeps are saying...Amazing!

quite playful words.
ReplyDeleteyour ending is kind of interesting, good luck.
Thanks for the entertainment and inspirations your words provide.
I like that photo, Steve. Wonderful beach that looks so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely the message you send in this beautiful poem, Steve. I often question why destiny seems, sometimes, so unkind. But I see that it is not unkind at all, at the end of the day. Destiny is what we make of life for ourselves... and yes, if we wish for it to change, only we can make that happen. We are so empowered in so many ways... And isn't that the most beautiful of life's gifts?
ReplyDeleteThank you for this lovely string of words, Steve!
Nevine
The song goes:
ReplyDeleteYou are my destiny
You are my reverie
You are my dream come true,
That's what you are!
CES:
ReplyDeleteOh yeah...you and Paul Anka! Wish I had known that song, it would have given me a different 'spective.
NEVINE:
Oh wow! I'm flattered. First, that you even click here and read. Then, that you take time to comment. Seriously, girl. You do it in such regal fashion, Dear Queen! Now I'm going to go see what I've missed on your blogs.
PEACE!

Yup! It could be any beach in your Island-of-Beauty, also.

Glad you think about things...me, too. I cannot just read, and move on.
PEACE!
LINDA:
I'd really REALLY miss you if you did not show up here--even knowing how sick you are--in pain! May God Smile as He gives you a 'break' this weekend! Amen.
PEACE!
I like the notion of destiny hovering...
ReplyDeleteDestiny...
ReplyDeletehmm faces all of us
hugs from the other coast
This is what people need to hear more. Very empowering. Love it!
ReplyDeleteTESS:
ReplyDeleteDestiny, ummmm, hovers like a fog, seemingly--seamlessly--shifting with each breath. Yeah!
LESLIE:
I'll get over there--promise! Thanks for a needed Monday "hug"
PEACE!
BELLA:
Oh WOW! I visit you, and you come on over to see what going on here! How nice...I mean it.

of Bella's huge talent
hope it never cease...
I wish you PEACE!
