Desire and Destiny

Abandoned seeds grow into lush gardens, while I count the rocks on other paths, where milestones are vibrant but do not carry my name. I keep running incessantly in the hope of being first on the horizon.

Pathways that miss the soles of my feet play host to temples that consecrate all that I wanted but did not pursue in the false belief that it is not grandiose enough to spell success.

Life is nothing but a series of missed appointments with a Desire to meet Destiny.


Written for Weekend Writing Prompt hosted by Sammi. She asks us to write a piece in 87 words, including ‘appointment’.
