Euphemism

by Maria Terezia Ferencz

Call it what you believe
Or as I prefer to see
It's a sweet seredipity
No accident of fate
Could have hoped to create
In such short sweep of eye
Delightfully deep designs
Eternity must apply
No more questioning why
Coincidence so great is
Euphemism for fate

Catchy construction and choice of vocabulary lends to a stimulating read. Great brain candy.

Well,There is a law of fate as there is this law of accident. And nothing happens in this world beyond these laws. Laws can be defied but by using laws.

Well, as both terms are applied retrospectively to events, I guess it comes down to personal perspective. Internal/external locus of control? If you feel you're in control of your life, then it's co-incidence, if not, then it's fate. Or maybe it's a product of the significance/implications of the events in question...irrelevant events, benign coincidence - important events, a heavy case of fate...whatever, my soporific comment obviously can't compete with your poetic exposition :>
