the series of signs which slowly become manifest as marks are missed... the cortege growing in strength until the tipping point is passed and all hell breaks loose...

Procession

where does this thing come from
it was not here before
obstacles make me glum
does this maze have a door

why doesn't this work out
it should be straightforward
leaving me in much doubt
how this have i incurred

what is this sensation
how come i feel so low
deflation impression
what is causing this woe

why are you mean to me
what have i done to you
why all this cruelty
and challenging undue

why is this happening
don't i deserve better
you claim to be loving
free me from this fetter

here an irritation
more annoyances there
push and prod vexation
is more than i can bear

distraught and deep in thought
drowning in resentment
confused and overwrought
and deaf to the moment

a lifeful of pointers
unfolds before my eyes
useful indicators
intended as allies

blinded by the blinkers
i do not recognize
lost in all that occurs
i avoid and despise

discounting as bothers
what's meant to make me wise
i deem as imposters
those wanting me to rise

inexorable force
standing tall on my course
inspiring my remorse
pointing me to the source

the calf on the altar
i respond in anger
unaware the mirror
heralds a steamroller

thanks for your question ! my answer would be both... and how you react to them too... i assume the interpretation and the reaction parts are self-evident... and as far as the signs part is concerned : they heralds what will happen in the absence or recognition/interpretation/reaction... yet they are there whether i notice them or not... many times i have noticed them only afterwards... yet they were there... and they are consistent... hope it answers your interrogation ! have a great weekend ! :o)

A compelling argument, in it's fashion. My question would be, is the signs that herald destiny? Or how you interpret them?
