Nithya Venkat enjoys writing about nature and different aspects of life in the form of poetic verses.
"Fate - Whatever Happens In Your Life" is a poem in response to the word prompt "Fate" provided by Brenda Arledge, a dear friend, and a talented poet who inspires us writers, to get our creative wheels spinning.
Thank you, Brenda, for inspiring me to write.
Fate - Whatever Happens In Your Life
Fate how I anticipate
What is going to happen
What hand are you going to play
What are you thinking
Fate, what is your deal today
Why do you come crashing at my gate
Screaming like a banshee
Telling me that this is my fate
What heartless soul do you possess
Do you have a soul at all, I wonder
Fate sometimes you brim with goodness
Showering me with good times, with happiness
But sometimes you deal blow after blow
Enough to flatten my heart and soul
Uprooting my very being
Throwing me away
Casting me into a tornado
The dark clouded wind swirls around me
Spinning me through bursts of dust and smoke
Choking breathless, I suffocate
Timeless moments seem to pass
Drowning in a sea of agony
I wait for it all to end
But suddenly all is calm
The sun shines
The trees sway
The wind is gentle
The tornado went away
I can finally breathe easy
I feel free fate has spared me
Fate, you have been kind to me
When you think about it all
Life is a roller coaster with its ups and downs
There are happy days and days when you feel down
Whatever happens
Whatever comes your way
Be calm, breathe easy
Remember, the dark clouds are never there to stay
The sun will shine
And you will find your way
Whatever happens
