Mystery of Chaos

Clouds are silvery Clouds are a mystery Mystery is mesmerizing Mystery is like smoke Smoke is blurry Smoke creates paintings Paintings inspire thoughtful minds Paintings appeal to dreamy eyes Eyes like a sparkling dark sky Eyes that look like a beautiful tragedy Tragedy is an elevated art Tragedy like Doctor Faustus Faustus the ravenous scholar Faustus is like Icarus Icarus soared perilously up Icarus fell into the sea Sea is full of risky creatures Sea is full of mysteries Mysteries are dark and hazy Mysteries appeal to the lonely Lonely is different from Alone Lonely is a feeling Feeling is vehement Feeling makes poetry Poetry is a flow of words Poetry is like water Water flows unrestrained Water is life Life imitates art Life is different from survival Survival is not death Survival is hiding from death Death is the lack of feeling Death exists where there's no passion Passion sets the soul on fire Passion is the guiding light Light comes from within Light is bright and warm Warm like a fireplace Warm like the sun Sun lights up the sky Sun lights up the earth Earth brings up trees Earth brings up Man Man creates beauty Man brings Chaos Chaos burns like fire Chaos scatters ashes Ashes. . . Fire . . .
