This poem forms part of my Aftermath collection, poetry written after meeting Jenn, where love, reflection, and emotional clarity began to replace chaos.
Is life a carefully woven tapestry, or do we truly have control over our path?
These are the questions I explore in this poem, Woven. It delves into the intersections of destiny, manifestation, and human connection. These are the thoughts; this is the poetry!
Questions Woven into the Fabric of Life
Is there a predetermined path for us to follow? Do our desires and aspirations materialize as we wish? Can we make things happen?
Since my youth, I have sensed something... a whisper... an unseen communication. Is this reality? Is life a complete mystery, or is there room for understanding?
Are events truly 'meant to happen'... does luck play a role in our lives? Can we shape our destiny, or is it merely fate that has always been set?
Within our subconscious, are we influenced by the universe? Do we truly have free will, or is it all preordained? Did we all originate from a single source?
Whether through science or faith... the beginning or the smallest particle... without disregarding any belief system, are we all fundamentally connected? Interwoven?
Our steps follow the paths of countless others who came before us... spirits traversing through past and future generations.
We are continuously broadening our perspectives... pushing the boundaries until the thread unravels. Or is it simply handed down to the next generation?
'Life is so short and the years pass so quickly, we live our lives like we're on a rollercoaster and before we know it many things are missed out, not done, and sometimes, too late to catch up on. You are in the prime of your life now, enjoy every moment of happiness you have, because that is the fruit of life and you are blessed'
That was from my mum, part of a message she sent to me after she finished reading my book (thanks, Mum).
I guess it is so apt to place it with this piece... it meant a lot to me.
As writers, we are blessed with the ability to leave our souls behind on paper... but let us not forget to enrich our souls and keep feeding them every day while we still can.
