Organized Chaos

*no outsiders allowed inside
a lone rule breaking in
a no rule zone
nowhere to go in an open sea,
lost with somewhere to go

a sleepless dream
or was it a dreamless sleep?

getting confused with the steadiness
of finally feeling a constant heartbeat
slowing down in the fast lane...
unpredictable in the land of inevitability

the silence of the heart
thunders
in the mind

niggling...refusing to accept
what it all means, what it implies

denial or is it blindness?
putting up a **deep facade
but really
just floating--
feet on the clouds
with head in the ground

solid stone crumbles to dust
as ice melts the fire
of resistance--now sputtering,
sparkling shyly
as diamonds would

upside down
right side up

downside up
up side left

head tucked in
with neck sticking out
heart in throat, swallowing it
getting thirsty in the rain

fools made out of geniuses
or is it
geniuses made out of fools?

love~
so many are lost in it,
puzzling the mystified 
and the rational
yet many understand it
when things fall into place

but 
once a missing piece does fit,
it only finds other mysteries

stumbling on answers
in organized chaos

no wonder
people go crazy over it

What an awesome write filled with oxymorons, Nikko. I think the very best one is the title itself. Hope you won a prize in the contest! Love, Carolyn

That's life. I hate to repeat a worn out cliche, but I suppose most go through this sort of turmoil. You have covered the subject beautifully. Love Dave
