The Calm In the Chaos
On the car ride to chaos
I let the soft instrumental music
trace along the corners of my mind
easing the knot inside
my eyes shut, as the sun’s warmth fell;
Like an orphaned leaf subtly on a lulled lake.
The sun afresh;
playing hide and seek with the trees,
I rested exquisitely.
Slowly but inconsistently,
like honey in water,
the warmth lazily spread its way
through my pores making way to my unkempt heart,
Polishing away around each jagged edge and corner;
All the way down to the very roots, crumbling the crass.
Light shone on broken glass,
(once despicably destruct)
transitioned into my heart.
Once again christened and ready for war, I thought;
Perhaps in the moment between a swelling tide and a catastrophic wave,
The calm in the chaos- a catalyst before the next storm?
