Destiny

From earth’s deep bowels when flames spit forth and thunder shakes the ground a seething mass of melted rock is strewn for miles around. When red grows dark and searing heat has cooled but all is torn the darkest doom lies on the land with greyness all forlorn. In moonlike scenes the earth has changed its rocks now look like seas, an envelope of fluid mass instead of grass and trees. Remember this, when earth decides to let its voice be heard, not even gods can change the path that destiny preferred. Ivor G Davies

Hi Ivor... I like the way you write about nature, and in rhyme. There should be a difference between a writer and a poet. I am with you about even God cannot change it. God cannot change the laws of science, even though he might have had created those laws.....

Thank you Pashang, yes I agree with you destiny or fate seems to be inevitable, we may sometimes set or change the route we take to get there and even sometimes delay it but never the outcome.
