Cheating Destiny

A refuge across the ocean A piece of skin stretched Dead cells multiply Creating Eternity Deep within Hiding in a pearl box Nestling in safe confinement I glimpsed My fate I woke up above the cloud Smiling in ecstasy Looking around, hoping to find My soul In immortality Unearthly beings surrounded me Welcoming my homecoming Puzzled at my sadness Unaware of my terror Flames ate at my heart Sea breeze set me free I run away from fate Cheated my destiny
