A Twist of Fate

Plansare great…

            And necessary.

Everyoneshould have a goal

Alongwith a map to get there

Tohelp them grasp and keep control.

 

Butplans are often sidetracked by

Asure but subtle twist of fate

Thatrecasts hunger’s fierce desire

Andoccupies a different plate.

 

Evenblatant surety

Cannotbe grist to guarantee that

Everyplan must carry true to form.

Theride of cunning circumstance

Canoft unveil the gypsy’s dance

Andtransform to a search for unicorns.

 

Butdreams need not be abdicated

Justbecause plans break apart.

Theshattered pieces congregate to

Finda brand-new place to start.

 

Focus!Focus on the point.

Importantplans do not abate.

Theycan thrive and will survive

Themeanest, harshest twist of fate.
