Amor Fati ( Nietzsche)








It is not a place of peace
A tent of shade or a palace
Lotus flowers do not float there
In ponds silent or lost

I have not chosen
Nor was I chosen to be
Chance, perhaps, or coincidence
Have found me searching for me

It is not because of love
That I have loved those I once met
On serpentine roads or in cities of stone
It is because I just was there

One gets one chance
Given by chance
To pass through
And be curious about the passing

... It is not a place of peace
Nor a tent or a palace
But it is fate
Dressed as life
