My Chaos

My Chaos

I am boiling in oil;
My personal catastrophe;
Whirring like a western dirt devil;
The devil’s got hold of me.

I stop – I believe I am called,
To look toward a heavenly face,
I feel a surge of quiet joy,
I rest in this chaos of place.

Just remember, Sunlite. In the big picture, today's catastrophe is tomorrow's wisdom. I enjoyed the read. Be well!

My personal catastrophe is perfectly written, for aren't most catastrophes personal? Well done. And it brings the reader hope things will turn out okay.
