Fate can change us-
Or do we change fate?
Can an already decided map
Be re-charted?

We are tumbling stones
In an raging river,
The water chooses the way.
We run from time-
But can time be changed?

Fate can tear us apart-
Or keep us together.
We given choices
And freewill.

Destiny awaits?
Or do we await destiny?
The future is what we seek
But the past is where we linger.

We fall in black,
Until a spark wakes us up.
Falling,
Falling.

Does fate lead to our end?
Or to our beginning?

OMG. I'm almost done reading Divergent. And after reading this, it reminded of the novel. About the inevitable future and inescapable past.

I love it, especially the ending question! It is great that you use imagery and descriptive language to explore a question that we have been asking for a long time. Awesome job!

I thought this was a good poem. I believe that you have a real talent. Also to answer the question I believe destiny will find those of who are ready waiting. We shall never find destiny itself. :)
