Destiny

Do not tread lightly your path through destiny,
nor falter along the way, though you be weakened or feeble
through misfortune or the judgement of lesser souls.
The light within you shines brightly.
Nurture it, for it is your guide.

Wise men, as 'wise' men be, offer but a clue to the truth.
As do the charlatan and the quick of tongue, do not be mislead,
for all are mortal and cannot lay before you the truth.
Have faith in your inner light.
Follow the path it is showing you.

Do not look into the dark, for you will see nothing!
Nor question why the trees tussle with the storm.
They are distractions along your path.
You cannot see that which is closed to you.
Your path is clearly lit.

And when the light grows dim, as one day it must,
do not wander from your path, for it is the truth.
Though you be slowed and hindered, continue
see it through, as only you know how,
for it is your destiny.
