Amidst Fate and Empowerment

Navigating the Turbulence of Destiny with Resilience

In the whirlwind of life’s vast sea,
A ship, adrift, with a navigator lost in tumult,
Fate steers the course beyond our will or wish,
Even the captain, in this tempest, knows not his path.

Fear not when your humble abode sways,
Or when life’s millstone revolves, harsh and unyielding.
From the ruins, may you build glories anew,
In palaces grand, from the ashes of the old.

“What is intended here?” you ponder, seeking clarity.
Fear is etched upon your fate,
Dreading hunger, death, pain, and poverty.
Fear as you must, but it won’t shield you
From the horrors that fear itself cannot deter.

Walk alongside fate, heed its command,
For against destiny, no cunning plan stands.
Fate drives us towards our inevitable end,
With events unexpected, seen, and unseen.

When destiny decrees, observe how it paralyzes thought,
Blinds the vision, leaving aspirations caught.
Inevitable is the end…
