☆ Providence…. ☆
You are just a straw
Floating with the gush of wind,
Going wherever destiny takes you.
Your finiteness
In the vastness of infiniteness
Is just an illusion
Making you falsely fantasise your worth.
Your knowledge, wisdom or health
May only give you inner strength
To dree the inevitable,
Your faith, commitment and character
May make you prudent
To face the inexorable;
But your path still remains undefined,
You still remain weightless
In the entirety of the universe.
The flow of life,
Depends not upon the straw,
But the wind that carries it.
