Threads of Fate
the threads of fate
relentlessly winding their way
forward, ever onward
spinning towards destiny
along i go
enjoying the ride
upon the very waves of time
dancing upon the edge of the world
there where doom is near
the threads make certain things clear
a divine vision revealed
deceptions have fallen away
i see clearly now
i see by the light of day
one step after another
some tried seduction
nonetheless i strode
such moments are what serve
to define us as noble creatures
the throbbing pulse of existence
the words in the eyes cannot be heard
only felt
words are mute
actions speak now
one uncommonly blessed
saved by faith
i believed in the impossible
and it came to be
knock and the door shall be opened
ask and you shall receive
most men live a life unduly constrained
by their own illusions
the inability to believe
in the impossible
is the greatest obstacle
to cross the path of mankind
the question is not what it is that truly is
the question is what it is that you perceive
by changing your perception
you influence reality
change your perception
reveal the truth within
remove the deceptions
melt away the plastic
each of us is only one being
many faces cannot hope to stay
the shadows have fallen away broken
the light of day now shines
the threads of fate now accelerate
time urges on its horse
clippety-clop clippety-clop
four legs hitting cobblestones at all once
truth reigns
turn the world upside down
and then turn the world
right-side up again
the shadows flitter to earth
shattering upon impact
tears freeze, fall and fail
sadness is broken today
there are no coincidences
yet there are manufactured ones
beware the mortal craftsman mortal
who claims to have built a sun
the pieces of the puzzle
all fall into place
the icy cold grasp of deception
melts in the light of truth
the threads of fate wind ever onwards
all the stronger for events long past
the sadness the sorrow the shifting
all serve only to strengthen the threads
a light shines all out
Your light
not mine
yet my life stands illumined
thank you Lord
for always guiding and guarding me
for always protecting and defending me
You truly hold me in Your hands
guide me now and always
set the path before this human dust alive
weave the threads of fate together
into a tapestry divine
