The Three Fates

The title poem of the collection, "The Three Fates," introduces us to the ancient Greek goddesses who control the destiny of all mortals. Clotho spins the thread of life, Lachesis measures its length, and Atropos cuts it short. The poem explores the complex relationship between fate and free will, and the power of choice to shape our own destinies.

The Three Fates, they spin and weave, The threads of life, they hold and keep. Clotho spins the thread so fine, Lachesis measures its length in time, And Atropos, with shears so keen, Cuts the thread and ends the scene. But what of choice, and what of will? Can we escape the Fates' decree? Or are we but puppets, moved at their whim, With no control over our destiny? The answer, my friend, is not so clear, For the Fates are powerful, it's true. But within our hearts, there burns a spark, A flame that can defy the dark. We may not be able to control our fate, But we can choose how we react to it. We can choose to live with hope and grace, And make the best of every space. So let us not despair, but rather strive To live our lives with purpose and drive. For though the Fates may hold our thread, It's up to us to weave it well instead.
