Fate’s handwriting



Found a crushed paper
Beneath a lovely old book
Like one dropped by blues
Had an enigmatic look

Against questions unfathomable;
Thousand answers it opined
Penned was my name
‘Twas stamped as “DESTINED”!!

I felt a connect,
And flipped a corner,
Bold chevron lines read,
“Seed and then garner”

Ink fluttered to allude
“Be real and emulate
Just and parallel I am,
None can cheat or escape”

“True roads would sun-lit
Though too hot and harsh”
I hammer a hard-hit
When ‘firm’ becomes ‘brash’

Mystical creased page
Enveloped follies and grit
Gave a sure message
It ended in sweet

Sender was no stranger
Knew all my thick and thin
Puzzling but yet legible
It was Fate’s handwriting!!
