Time is fate's lovely spouse
Lucks are fate's children in time's womb
Humans testify to this twin.

- Comment from author about the poem: What I was reaching for in these few lines is the idea that what we often separate—time, fate, and luck—are actually part of the same process. I imagine fate as intention, time as the means through which that intention unfolds, and luck as the visible result that eventually surfaces. In that sense, luck isn’t random; it’s something carried, formed, and delivered only when time allows it. The final line places humans not as authors of this process, but as witnesses to it. Our lives become the testimony that time and fate move together, inseparable, revealing outcomes only after patience has done its work.

Deeply philosophical this short poem conveys deep meaning as explained in the author note. Perception seems to have a great deal to do with this with the underlying assumption of whether one takes a deterministic or free choice point of view. Well written and thought provoking.
Very much obliged for this insightful and honest review, fellow poet.
