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.
