Chaos Theory Deconstructed

having missed 
the sunday sermon
barring nature 
from self-organizing
believed to be a sin 
against the law of entropy

unstable air mixes 
bitter cold with warm            
moist masses collide with dry
forming in the closet of night 
and breach of day
an ephemeral sign

forming a why 
where heaven never shows
and no Word appears 
but a humble messenger
without trumpet or salutation 
now descending
in silence drawn 
by mass of earth

From chaos 
order increases,
out of thin air 
new information,
symmetry of design
by nature's hand,

bearing little weight
upon the sacred
edifice, but
challenging,
by yet one more
fell blow,
Darwinian
denial:

a crystal
of snow.
