Out of Choices

Sitting in the hands of Fate,
you can't see anything
except for the past and present,
not the future--your meaning.

Cupped in the paws of destiny,
you have no choice but to let go
and do as your heart says,
not as your mind seems to show.

Leaving the shores of the known,
feet wet with the sudden new,
you must submerge your full self
with no other place to go to.

Let your hair down
free yourself
reread all the books
sitting dusty on the shelf
breathe in
breathe out
suck in promises
and learn what to doubt

CREATE SOMETHING!
