The siren song of destiny


Fig leaves, burnished by the evening sun: 
Their abstract patterns draw me to the window 
As surely as a baby’s cry 
Calls a mother to her crib. 
Each of us has a particular music 
That acts as a siren’s call to lure us, 
Not to devastation but to destiny; 
Into that space that we were born to fill.
