Some of which I had hardly known.

Till the reapings revalation.
Some bumper crops, some fallow fields.
Making clear what inclinations,

I am not old man remorsing.

Most certainly, I am not endorsing.
When one should stand, or take a bow.

Such things as this,
you'd know best
If you are master of your fate.
Captain of your soul if blessed.
And of a mind to contemplate.

All those things that bear reflection.
The who's, the what's the when's the how's.

A fine reflection, extrapolated from a fine metaphor.
Well done.

The ending was perfection especially---

"Then set a course in what directions,
the winds of fate allows."

I firmly believe that fate is a meddler, like a prankster and likes blowing us off course.

Loved this poem.... Kie
