PERHAPS

Do we control destiny or does destiny control us?

PERHAPS a common thought flowed,
through us upon waking.
Perhaps a common star showed,
to us upon gazing.

Perhaps a common song,
tickled our ears upon listening.

Perhaps our hearts share a common beat,
upon breathing.
Perhaps we were destined to meet,
decided from our beginning.

Perhaps all of this seems so convincing.
Yet, the premise is un-worth relying.

For, if ‘perhaps’ defines me and you,
then absolutely nothing would be left for us to do.
But I control me and you control you,
then ‘perhaps’ is everything, but nothing to do.
