Fate Shapes

Do not fear the errant and seemingly erratic winds of change,
For it is the will of creation that nothing remains unchanged,
Under going the sluggish mutation that is known as growth,
Even the stoney bones of planets are not immutable,
Time weathers all matter, rendering it to mere components,
That meet and mix and recombine, transforming,
Sameness is but an illusion of small time frames,
No span last forever, none understand true granduer,
The real beauty of creation is never witnessed, just glimpsed,
And poorly recorded by those beings that have the ability,
A lacking tribute of the past for those yet to come,
So are we all doomed to see but a single semi-frame,
A mere flicker of time in which the arrogant see truth,
In which I see myself as a mote in the eye of a titan,
Filled with longing and dreams of immortallity unattainable,
Dreams of endless deviation and tireless vicissitude,
Marching through time relentless, becoming an essence timeless,
Shaped by fate just as I shape it.

    Wow. Really thought out this one, eh? Just joking. It's actually good to think. Sometimes, my thoughts are disconnected, though. Well, this is connected, so great job.

    this poem really spoke to me...excellent images & the theme is well put out. love "...a mote in the eye of a titan..." & also "... the arrogant see truth...". just when we think we have "the answer", it disappears. will read more of your work soon. thanks.

    I really like your wording and depth in this. I especially like
    'Time weathers all matter, rendering it to mere components,
    That meet and mix and recombine, transforming,
    Sameness is but an illusion of small time frames,'
    and
    'The real beauty of creation is never witnessed, just glimpsed,
    And poorly recorded by those beings that have the ability,'

    I enjoyed this and hope to read more of your writes. (I think "everyone", myself included, has toyed with the thoughts/ideas of leaving AP - but hang in there. Your writes are good, better than a lot I've read - and I'm sure you would be missed).
    best wishes

    Amazing! I heard that you're thinking of leaving AP. Please don't! We need to read poems like this that aren't self-involved like most and can look at life is such a profound way.

    Quite the verbiage you use in these lines- very impressive words indeed. Think you mean dreams of endless - just a typo there. Keep writing, sounds good.

    You have a real way with words. An intensity of thought, etched against what we hold as factual - so much more naive than aware.

    "A lacking tribute of the past for those yet to come,
    So are we all doomed to see but a single semi-frame,
    A mere flicker of time in which the arrogant see truth,"

    These lines especially stood out for me. Great piece!

    Wowzers!!! Brilliant piece!! We are all part of an everchanging landscape, which we will all eventually mould into... as you say, becoming timeless, yet unseen and perhaps not remembered... yet still a part of shaping it.

    Very thought provoking indeed!!

    This is so deeply thought provoking! Loved some of the words and imagery here so much..."stoney bones of the planet..." and "I see myself as a mote in the eye of a titan..." This is all consuming thought. Takes a mind on a journey to a distant place where what we believe to be reality is questioned...

    Thanks for making me think!
