Poem: Fate?

By Dr. Archan

Poem: Fate?

A gypsy once told me that death and destruction

Are on the cards: the wise, old woman gazed deeply

Into her crystal ball with a twinkle in her eyes. Even

So, we can still make the most of the little time we

Have left, my dear, and ride this magic carpet to

The Promised Land. Look, my love, do you see

This Garden of Eden? Ah, look at these rabbits

Scampering in the lush, green landscape where

Time stands still and one is locked into the

Warm, comforting embrace of eternity. Just

Beyond the threshold, there are fertile lands

Where red roses bloom and lilacs welcome you.

The yonder lake shines like a mirror and sends

Dew drops like a messenger from paradise. This

Is the time to keep hope alive: let the flame of

Life touch the stars and transport us to Mars. Enjoy

This fleeting moment before it melts away into the dusk.
