Trusting In Fate Poem by Lora Colon

Trusting In Fate

Rating: 5.0


As clouds disperse along the glowing East,
The sun makes its appearance, yawning,
The dew-kissed rose begins to blush and sigh,
While birds announce a new day's dawning

How frail and incompetent this sunrise,
Its once-splendid beams now barely glow,
Compared to the glorious flames of love
That burn in me when thoughts of you flow

I'd rejoice just to have you near to me,
If I could but hold your dear hand in mine,
This simple prayer sent to Heaven each day,
Wrapped in hope, tied with love's blessed twine

But loneliness won't abdicate its throne,
Love and joy cannot be the sole tenants,
And when my heart dares to dream of your love,
Fear and doubt impose their harsh penance

Emptiness and longing weave their tendrils
Around me tightly like a choking vine,
And I cannot move, I'm frozen with fear,
Fear that your love will never be mine

But only Time can lift the future's veil,
So, faithfully I will stand at Hope's gate,
Waiting and watching for you to appear,
Placing my trust in the hands of Fate

favorite line so far (it is ALMOST funny!) : How frail and incompetent this sunrise, But loneliness won't abdicate its throne, Love and joy cannot be the sole tenants, ...............maybe they could share? a time share? or duplex-heart? ? i know [from a comment you left on another's poem: Lora Colon: Poet by Kassem Oude].............that you do have on and off moments, which balance each other out......supposedly, leaving contentment [which is what i also say i feel about my life on average]. the Fickle Finger of Fate*****! ? ? ? maybe not exactly, but i like the sound of it....alliterations turn me on. ;) :) bri :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - from Google: ****** from Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In...........TV show: The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award saluted actual dubious achievements by the government or famous people, such as the announcement of a new Veterans Administration hospital to be erected in Southern California shortly after another such facility was destroyed in the 1971 San Fernando earthquake. The trophy is a gilded, outstretched finger atop a square base. The flying, fickle finger of fate was already a familiar catchphrase on the show (Dan Rowan used the phrase when ushering new talent such as Tiny Tim on stage) . ============================== maybe it does not quite fit my usage of F.F. of Fate in my comment. ;) bri :)
