I know not where the Fates may lead me <br />as I call upon the sisterly guides <br />I fear that they may yet deceive me <br />as they answer my desolate cries <br /> <br />'Pleadingly, I beseech you' <br />I cry to the starry night skies <br />'If my heart is to remain true <br />I needst know where the path ahead lies' <br /> <br />'Child, Child, shed you no more tears' <br />they sang as they gathered around <br />'Child, Child, set loose all of those fears <br />and tell us for where art thou bound' <br /> <br />'Sisters, Sisters, I really do fear <br />that I shall ever be lost <br />I have searched for the path for many a year <br />within time's maelstrom I'm tossed' <br /> <br />'Child, Child, our most precious one' <br />they sigh in a soothingly mien <br />'thine arduous journey has not yet begun <br />so thy path yet remains to be seen' <br /> <br />'Sisters, Sisters, please do not leave! ' <br />I cry as their visage does fade <br />'If mine path is not preconceived <br />then why dost I feel so betrayed? ' <br /> <br />'Child, Child, never you fear' <br />they smiled a most fondest adieu <br />'Close thine eyes and all will be clear <br />just follow thine heart, it shall lead you'<br /><br />Sheri Walters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/entreating-the-wyrd/
