Periods

Published by Susan on 2003/8/9 (1659 reads)
My destiny it is tonight...

My destiny it is tonight
    To sit with pensive brow
Beside my study fire and write
    This verse I'm making now.
This Period, this tiny dot
    My pencil has defined,
By centuries of human thought
           Was predestined.

And my last period of all
    With patience now I see;
The final point so very small,
    That locks my life for me.
Yet in eternity of time
    They relatively seem
So like,--the dot that rounds my rhyme
           Or ends my dream.

For each was preordained by Fate
    Since human life began;
So are the little and the great
    Linked in the life of man.
And as I wait without heartache
    The pencil-point of God,
To pattern predestined I make
           This------.
