Fates Three

Who can penetrate the swirling mists ahead
so to read the hoary signatures written
upon seed droplets of fate well hidden?

Who is our unseen lover,
who bears the dagger of our death?

Which Zephyr carries happiness’ sweat scent,
which false friend is our Judas?

Which companion do we invite within,
which companion is it wise to leave without?

Who begrudges our good works,
who feeds and shelters our bodies and souls?

Why believe in the figment called self,
why endure the one who loves you not?

With one person you find joy
with another you find sorrow.

Who can penetrate the swirling mists ahead
so to read the hoary signatures written
upon seed droplets of fate well hidden?

Not I, for sure, my dear,
but, even so, wisdom can be applied
so to find ourselves a good path
through the misty threads spun
upon the loom of Fates Three.
