Sisters Of Fate

Enslaved to the Gods to do this one thing,
to spool every life to its own string.
Three sisters meant to weave life and death from woman or man,
all taking one quality of life to spin their plan.
One to the heart where all courage resides,
the other to the soul where faith often hides.
Still the other has the mind to create,
thus three qualities woven to fit their fate.
A stranger may come by just to see what is life’s will,
but if the fool comes too close it will be him we kill.
Life so delicate it could be cut with in a blink of an eye,
and there you will be rotting and left to die.
The Gods seem immortal but they will fall just like you,
for we are sworn to tell what is really true.
Three sisters weaving the tapestry of all mankind far and near,
knowing of their loves and driving fear.
Each with the wisdom to help anyone that will dare to ask what will I be,
each knowing the others life and what they shall see.
So come closer if you dare to see in the faces of your true fate,
for are you bolder then what they create.
Take a big swallow and walk if you feel the need,
but remember if you are not quick it is your flesh you will feed.
