Summary:
is it fate? or is it destiny?

“In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.” – Wikipedia

hello beautiful,

do you remember our first date?
when I gazed into your eyes
silently we’re mesmerized
you smiled and looked away
was it fate or destiny at play?

a butterfly’s wings
disturbs the air
the rippling effect
whispering someone’s prayer
chaos in the calm
and calm in the storm
upon a breeze true love is born

does the breeze know where it takes us?
and will it lead each heart in trust?

is it fate? or is it destiny?
when you smile
it’s clarity
in this world of chaos
I can see
oh Michelle
it’s you and me

in those big brown eyes
my world turns slow
each glance you give me
the love I know
was it on the wind of wings?
and of the hand of time?
that brought your heart to beat with mine

is it fate? or is it destiny?
when you smile
it’s clarity
in this world of chaos
I can see
oh Michelle
it’s you and me

what if the wind had blown another way?
would we be lost in time
and where would we be today?
yet here we are
against all odds, our chance
your name’s the melody
that brought me to the dance

is it fate? or is it destiny?
when you smile
it’s clarity
in this world of chaos
I can see
oh Michelle
it’s you and me

Michelle
it’s you and me

    1. Beautifully penned, Angel. Another excellent write with a smooth flow and incredible storytelling my friend. Dare I say even a lyrical vibe at that. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

      • Damian, thanks for your kind words. Yes, you are right. This is a song I wrote for my wife in honor of our 10th wedding anniversary last year. It is about a very specific period of time early in our relationship from the perspective of the present.
