Arise from the night into the day ahead
thrust on your shoes there is no time to lose
and through the door you creep
for destiny you seek.

Plundering your way through the light of day
and when your time has come.
The road and you are one.

I am taking this oddly... tell me if I am being inaccurate or not, alright?
Putting on your shoes, walking out the door, all to begin a search for your destiny.
But you enjoy the search more than the destiny.
The road and you become one.
Well, this is my interperetation, anyway.  One that I can relate to, FYI.  ~_^

This is a wonderful piece!  I love the rhyming pattern!  I agree with Jeremy, it makes me think of what destiny has in store for all of us...my favorite line was "The road and you are one."

It seems that the future is the only thing that is in store for us all. We know that there is something in store for us, but we just can't figure it out yet.

Jeremy& bright eyes,

I am very happy this poem has made you think of what your destiny is in store for you. Destiny is a very interseting subject to think about. Keep thinking my friends.

a little girl,

The future is all that is in store for us all... well i know that is how it truly seems but truthfully i believe otherwise. I mean what if this future of ours never comes to be. Our future is our present as well as our past and destiny... well that is the link between them all. Thank you for your thoughts none the less.

Allen~ hummmm. Very wonderful interperetation although not exactly what i was looking for. I truthfully believe no one will be able to interperete this one. It was a great attempt though and i did love how you interpereted it. Thank you for your thoughts

first of all...WOW!!!
one of the best poems I've read in Passions

Though you've said that noone will be able to interpret it
This is kindda how I look at it though

"Destiny is there for us to go and get, it's not something we could just sit around and wait for.  We have to go and get it with pride, be strong about it and accept it whatever it is. And in the end, we'll  be one with it. It's like that one poem I can't remember...It's about going thru the night...you know what I'm talking bout?"

Well, I had to take a shot at it

"Plundering your way through the light of day
and when your time has come.
The road and you are one."

I don't know why, but this made me think of religion and God.  "when your time has come" means that you've died, and the path you were trying to follow (towards God) becomes where you are really going.  I also had several other thoughts, but I won't get into those.  I'm probably way off too, hey?  Well, at least it got me thinking

Melster~ Well it does have to do with our destiny you are right ,but it is so much more then just that. Thank you for your interperetation though.

Acrie~ I love the interperetaion but as i said no one will get this one. I do LOVE how you analyzed it. It seemed like you went into deep thought on that it was truly beatiful what you said


Dopey~I am happy you liked my ending I like it too.  hehe


Lakewater~ It was a nice way you analyzed altough it does not have to do anything with religion. Thank you for trying though it means alot to see people truly think about someting you have made.

Child of the stars~ Leaving a old and starting a new.... I like that alot and was a wonderful way of thinking about this poem

Alright Here is my explination of this poem. This is not really a poem that you are searching for your destiny it is that you have found it and what you do because you of it. It is waking up late at night putting your shoes on and creeping out the door hoping your parents wont hear you leave, and then you go out and do what you feel you were ment to do. What you love to do every moment of every day, and knowing that no matter what nothing can take you away from doing what you love.

This is a poem about myself and what i do everyday and everynight. I wake up late put my shoes on, creep out the door hoping no one will hear me, and then i begin to run with my heart held high. I am fighting against the break of daylight, and sadly i know i must return to my home before my parents comprehend that i left. And I know that when my time has come when i will be able to just keep running and not have to return it is then that the road and i will be one once again.

just want to put my 2 cents in...destiny is just another word for death, everyone has that in common and everyone has that in store sooner or later, all destiny is, is when it's your time to die and all fate is how you die. but thats just me...anyways the poem was marvelous. Keep it up.

Poet,very true you are destiny is but the beggining of thee end. And you see in this poem it might be hard to see but it is very much like that. I am bron again when i run and when i know i must stop i die and so my destiny to me anyway repeats itself until that one day that i will no longer have to do that.
