Caterpillar’s Fate

By Himanshi Jaglan

In the dance of fate, a tale unfolds,

A caterpillar's journey, as destiny molds.

Peeping through my cab's window pane,

Amidst life's hustle, I seek to gain.

The breeze whispers secrets, a moment's grace,

In the chaos of life, a fleeting embrace.

Yet amidst the rush, a scene unfolds,

A caterpillar's journey, as fate beholds.

Eyes closed, feeling the magic in the air,

Till a tiny creature caught my stare.

Crossing the sidewalk, in a silent crawl,

A journey of hope, amidst life's sprawl.

Each step, a struggle, yet onward it pressed,

In the face of danger, it dared to jest.

Rooting for its safety, my heart did race,

As fate's unseen hand held its place.

Through bustling crowds and bicycle's hum,

It journeyed forth, its fate yet to come.

In the chaos of life, a lesson taught,

As the caterpillar's journey, fate sought.

But as the light turned green, my heart did sink,

Would I witness its triumph, or fate's cruel brink?

A step, a crush, a moment's end,

In the blink of an eye, fate did descend.

Disheartened and shaken, I pondered deep,

On life's twists and turns, in sorrow's sweep.

For even in the shadows, fate's hand does play,

Guiding us forward, come what may.

In the caterpillar's fate, I see my own,

A journey of struggles, yet seeds sown.

Where will I be, and who will I become?

In the tapestry of fate, my story's spun.

Yet amidst life's chaos, I hold onto hope,

For in each struggle, lies the strength to cope.

I'll leave my mark, in this world so vast,

And soar like the butterfly, at last.
