Madness


                                                   What's madness but nobility of Soul
                                                    at odds with circumstance
                                                                 Theodore Roethke


Extraneous circumstances
delve into utopian
realizations that
make you understand
you may not
be all there
Ramifications manifest
themselves on a
daily basis totally
controlling you
Petulant realities
stream into
your consciousness
pestering routines
that convalesce
within dimensions that
are never surpassed
beckoning in a
new direction
that you never
thought could exist

Good Morning Frank. Hello. Yes, madness and chaos indeed. However, after the madness blows away and the winds shift may calm and peace be restored. I very much enjoyed the theme and always enjoy mentions and thoughts of the soul to which the soul must always be protected. Thank you for sharing your skilled talent. Have a wonderful morning and day. Blessings and Peace (smile)
