Fated

The dawn I first saw

I knew not the strings

That tangled in my arms and feet

The puppeteer's mask

From heaven gleamed

And guiley plucked

The lines with glee

I knew not

The ignorant dance

To which my feet

Followed unwittingly

The dawn I first saw

I thought to be

Great and unchallenged

I saw no strings

Tied to the sun

But had I chanced

A closer look

I would have seen

A spider's web

Glistening in the light

Wrapped between

Heaven and earth

And me

I would have seen

Those same silken strings

Tied to my hands

Tied to my feet

That I was tied

To everything
