Shades of destiny
Hangs in the air
With its eyes open
For who to touch now
Clear low voices
Whispers in the wind
To tell my future
Foot where to land
It touches through the rain
It screams through the storms
It points through the clouds
And in the sunshine, it is silent

i really think this bit is amazing . Its very deep and moving . Amazing write -
This is very good... I like your idea of destiny touching people. Though, watch out for the double use of the word next. Next has a weird ring to it, and it stands out if you use it like that. Try replacing it with another word, so it's not so awkward....

Anyways. This is good -- Hopefully you get into the judging

Best of luck

Thanks!
Ahhh. After searching with my eyes for five minutes on where to reply a comment, I felt pretty dumb when I finally found it! (I'm new on the site
But anyways, thank you very much for your critics. I agree very much with you in that. English is my second language so my words stumble alot
And also thank you for the kind words!
Cheers, Lad
