Haiku Friday – Fate & Make

28 Jul

“Only you have control of your mood. Not others. You control yourself. Not others. You make your own decisions. Not others. You have control.”

Vashti Quiroz Vega-Vashti Q-The Writer Next Door-Poetry-Haiku_Friday-fate

 

I think fate is like a river; you can allow the current to push you along and control where you end up or you can become a strong swimmer and swim against the current.

FATE

by Vashti Q

Your future’s not set

Our fate’s more vast than the sea

Forge your own outcome

Reach for that spark within you

And release your inner self

    Excellent, Vashti. I alternate between going with the flow and swimming against the current. It depends on where my destination lies. Love the book cover 💕

        Talk about reading but not registering … I even wondered why ‘Book Cover Reveal’ was above your name! Let me be an example for all those who think they can do without their reading glasses 🙂

        It happens. That also happens when you’re trying to do too much at once––it’s happened to me. 😉 xx

    Love the first two lines, Vashti. ‘Our fate’s more vast than the sea.’ A dreamer’s challenge. Good luck on being a strong swimmer and your new book. ❤

      Thank you, Robbie. I can see why you relate to this post––you are one of those creatives that cannot be forced into a box. It’s clear that you’ve taken control of your fate. 😀 xx
