The stars do not decide for us
They are but flames that burn the night
They do not cast our fate but just
Reflect it back within their light.
Though we may wish upon the stars
The stars do not decide for us
We choose to become what we are
The cure for savage luck is trust.
A shining caracol and thus
Its twists and turns an endless game
The stars do not decide for us
And so our lives are much the same.
While Heaven's reach is far and true
And kneel before her strength we must
What we believe and what we do
The stars do not decide for us.

Wonderful soliloquy but my spiritual nature attends to my beliefs otherwise.
"...go ahead and pray but then go do something.."
Indeed!
I'm so glad you accepted the challenge, Lola! This is my favorite pair of lines:
"Though we may wish upon the stars
The stars do not decide for us"
I'm always so impressed with those who write in form; it is NOT my gift. :) But you did a great job. And you made an excellent point. Our choices are our own.

Though we may wish upon the stars
