Courage of Your Convictions
Poem 5: Fate Unraveled (Haiku)
Speaker: Madame Pollux
Story: Who Decides?
His name? Ryusei
He wished for his friend to heal.
I gave a reading
"Who decides?" I said.
He was so unsure at first,
But I showed the way.
He drew the tarot
The cards revealed the future
He was filled with joy.
The card, Nine of Rods
Said he will save his best friend
It would all be fine.
I asked him something,
Something he should think about
In the weeks to come
"Who decides your fate?"
"Is it you or is it I?"
He thought about it.
Then, he told me this:
"I will decide my own fate."
And then he walked off.
Fate is so fickle
To give hope and then despair
That is what happened.
That man, Ryusei
What happened after he left
Is a mystery
However, I see
The two of us meeting up...
Eventually
