Two long roads,
crossed in the middle,
on one side was a fair maiden,
named Destiny.
On the other side was a sour maiden,
named Fate.
Destiny had long, flowing auburn hair,
with a rose vine crown atop her head,
she had a lavender gown, that seemed,
to be made of wind and water.
Her eyes were a soft earthy brown,
kind and pure.
Fate had short, black hair,
with a dress that seemed to be made of,
fire and rain,
her eyes were a disturbing electric green,
that seemed to penatrate your thoughts.
A man was following Destiny's road,
a look of urgency across his face,
longing burning brightly in his eyes.
He came to the cross road,
and a look of confusion,
came across his face.
Which way was he to go?
He looked into the trees, hoping to find the answer.
Then Destiny spoke,
her voice as sweet as roses,
"You have come to the cross roads,
of myself, Destiny, and my sister, Fate.
You can escape neither one of us,
whichever road you take,
you find both of us at the end."
The man was transfixed.
Then Fate spoke,
her voice was full of rage,
but oddly quiet,
"These roads will cross again,
only not under your notice,
they will slowly dwindle into one,
so you will meet both,
one way or the other."
They spoke together.
"You must choose dear sir,
which road you are going to take,
will your destiny come to terms with your fate?
Or will you have your fate come to terms with your,
destiny?
It is already set in stone,
what fate will bring when it clashes with destiny,
and what destiny will do when it clashes with fate."
Destiny spoke solo again,
"Follow my path,
and you will find what you seek,
but at the price of not knowing the,
consquences."
Fate spoke solo once again,
"Follow my path,
at the price of knowing wath will be the consquences,
of eventaully following your destiny.
The pain of that,
I must warn you,
is unbearable,
while the other way around,
could cause insanity."
The man looked from one maiden to the other,
even more unsure of what path to take,
was he willing to risk insanity?
Was he able to take intense pain?
He thought for a long time,
and finally concluded,
to take Destiny's road.
The sisters looked knowingly at eachother,
as they watched the man go on his way.
The man walked for days on end,
and as promised,
he didn't notice the two roads,
merging together.
As he got closer and closer,
to clashing with Fate,
he began to wonder frantically,
what was going to happen next,
when he would find what he was seeking.
He began to go insane,
and the pain of that was unbearable,
he had clashed with Fate.
The two sisters appeared to him,
"You see,
there was no way to avoid either one,
longer then the other.
You chose to risk insanity,
thinking that would have saved you from now,
from unbareable pain,
but you were wrong.
If you had gone the other way around,
you would have gotten the pain,
and would have gone insane from the pain."
There is no way out of meeting both,
Destiny and Fate.
