FATE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A wide bare field 'neath blinding skies
Last Line: Trail on and on, because they must.
Subject(s): Fate; Destiny


A WIDE bare field 'neath blinding skies,
Where no tree grows, no shadow lies,
Where no wind stirs, where no bee flies.

A roadway, even, blank and white,
That swerves not left, that swerves not right,
That stretches, changeless, out of sight.

Footprints midway adown its dust;
Two lagging, leaden feet that just
Trail on and on, because they must.
