Cusps Converge - Fate Counter, Fait Accompli or Counterfeit ?

Cusps converge then redivide,
Unexpectedly conceal
Symphonic links Time may reveal
Perchance some day, tune runes inside,
Subtle riddles read.  Who’d ride
Concentric ripples round Fate’s wheel,
ON key, in tune with Future’s weal ?
Vain mankind has often tried
Effect and Cause to link, provide
‘Real’ explanations for Life’s spiel –
Gust on Time’s breeze Death, Past, fast seal –
Ephemeral both ebb and tide.

Cusps connected can’t collide,
Unique the rule to school, unreel
Silk threads which, slippery as eel,
Prepare tomorrows far and wide,
Synchronic patterns spinn, abide,
Chaos kept on even keel, …
ONe law – or flaw – none can repeal.
Vision peripheral aside
Each should Cause search and not deride
Response-reaction’s ceaseless meal
Ground by and from Fate too few feel.
Effect ? - Coincidence’s bride !
Still stays writ, fit lock for Time’s sandy wall,
Will, Ways, Wit, knit knock, door, key, rhymes, and all...

 

 

 

 

 

Convergency men seize upon to show
One moment their superiority

Next time, when thwarted, claim 'bad luck', blame, see
Vicious circle, counterfeited flow.
Each act is judged upon what 'chance' may sow,
Responsibility depends on ends, means, meeting key
Grandeur, defeat, or opportunity,
ENigmas solved or fallow fields' dust blow.

To 'Fate' hard knocks, to 'self' praise due, view crow !

Come double standards, rewrite history
Ordaining 'hindsight' loco parentis

Unique divinity above, below.

No credibility's accorded judgement which
TERgiversation shows twixt stitch or swich. 

Author notes

~Man blames most accidents on fate - but feels a more personal responsibility when he makes a hole-in-one on the golf course.


In Loco Parentis : Latin :
literally 'in place of parents'
figuratively here 'tutelary'

TERgiversation ambiguity, hesitancy

    Fascinating

    I had to read this twice to get the real "flow" of the piece, but after that it worked much better for me. I enjoyed both reads: first where I studied your adept phrasing and secondly where I found the rhythm of the work. I thought the "depth" of your words and phrases, at times, caused me to lose focus, but that's just my problem. A very strong composition!

    I especially enjoyed your author's notes, dear Scribe. Don't they, indeed??? Another incredible penning from such an incredible mind, Sweetie. You make me smile while I think; an all~too rare occurence. I thank you, my Friend. Wanda
