We enter
unbeknown to the fate that awaits
feeding questions onto hooks
forever dangling them
in the waters
hoping to catch the big one
lurking in shadows
waters are never clear where the big fish hides
keeping his secrets
so we cast out
feeling the little tiddlers nibbling
the pieces we offer
a soft tug on the end of the line
we catch our own destiny
large or small
creating what suits and sustains
until the last desire lands
holding us until we leave
unbeknown to the fate that awaits

oh i like the images…the catching (or trying to catch) our own destiny…the feeding questions onto hooks, dangling them in the waters…ya know…i still have some questions on hooks in the water…and wait for answers that i may never get…
So true the chances in life waiting and being missed
This is so true, Dianne. I can remember times when I’d be fishing, and where I was was never the right spot. I was constaantly trying to cast my line “way over there”. This was especially true if I was fishing from the shore. Life is much the same; we’re always looking for that perfect spot, and somehow it’s never where we are at the moment. LOTS of good thoughts to ponder in this one! Great write!
nice…i love the analogy of fishing…and catching our own destiny…all in what type bait we use as well you know….the questions…that was a really cool touch in this…and the waters are never truly clear….great write…
I love “Waters are never clear where the big fish hide.” So true. If we ever hope to get the big one, we have to risk the depths where one can sometimes find the best rewards!
I too like the use of fishing to illustrate the ambivalence and uncertainty of life…lovey share, thanks ~
Ahh… life is a bit like fishing isn’t it. Certainly sometimes a game of chance.
Loved this 🙂
I like to think of my life as having hundreds of destinies. I love your fish analogy.
Hmmm…. life from the fisherman’s perspective. I never would have experienced this had I not visited you here, today. That is why I like this time, this life, so very much!
I really like your fishing metaphor here – yes, it does sometimes feel a lot like that…
