Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is fate, fortune, and free will.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A philosophical poem about the illusion of choice:
Choice is just a ripple in
The river of one's
fate,
A moment when one's
consciousness
Stamps motion with a
date.
A trillion causes
join to form
One tremor in one's
flow.
A trillion trillion
trillion tell
One's will which way
to go.
And yet one chooses,
for one has
No choice but to be
free,
And choose each bend
of the widening stream
That takes one to the
sea.
