Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

Chaos and Harmony

In the beginning, there was Chaos, Hesiod*  
of old tells us 
then 
with the passing of time and the intervention of the divine,
slowly and persistently, the order was established 
but
Chaos has not disappeared at all as it is lurking:
into the core of Cosmos-
into every heart
into every mind 
and
into every soul

waiting 

for the right moment to strike
to overthrow harmony and back to anarchy, triumphantly, us
to bring.

Imperative it is, therefore,
with each step we take, 
vigilant we have to be, my friend, 
questioning 
everything that concerns us-
our being
our dreams
our becoming 
thus
advisable for us would be
never accept something at 
face value 

but
 
on the contrary, we should, everything that concerns us 
in-depth to examine
so, 
good would be, suspicion's shield high to raise 
for 
to protect the inner order that we have so painstakingly achieved, 
and 
by doing so, to Chaos victims we would 
never fall!

Anne-Lise Andresen February 3, 2020 at 7:45 AM Chaos, confrontation and conflict are in the process of displacing reason in the world ... Creating order in the chaos ... a mental cleansing session ... when life pushes us out of balance :) - Excellent written, my friend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Demetrios Trifiatis February 3, 2020 at 7:53 AM Thank you for your gracious visit and comment dearest, Ann-Lise!

Tom Cunningham February 3, 2020 at 5:49 AM So true Demetrios, without order chaos will reign supreme, we have come a long way but as you say it lurks beneath. I often wonder with the state of the world now, has chaos got a foothold. In the future, poets will add notes with their work quoting words from a wise poet from Greece by the name of Demetrios. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis February 3, 2020 at 6:44 AM You humble my my generous friend, Tom! Only our Lord is wise! We just become less and less ignorant! Thank you very much for your gracious comment! Blessings!

Maria Williams February 3, 2020 at 5:39 AM Sad it is, that what once was taken on face value, and handshakes cannot be anymore. You are so right, chaos rears its ugly head if one is not vigilent, and so good it would be, suspicion's shield high to raise. Great advice....Maria xxx Demetrios Trifiatis February 3, 2020 at 6:40 AM I am delighted to see you here commenting dearest friemd, Maria! Thank you so much for your kind words! Hugs xxx
