Wakening

Wakening

A Poem by Fay Slimm

 

 

Wakening.

 

New events can at times mystify
even the tidiest mind,
turn topsy-turvy accepted norms,
toss sky-high
respectable long held conclusions
 then jumble
normal routine until, irretrievably,
balance tumbles.

Change in events scramble a crazy
unprepared brain,
life appears altered, time patterns
never seem sane,
confusion reigns until answers start 
making more sense
of the questioning "whys" that now
battle relentlessly
over unsought-for acceptance and 
suddenly blast
the reliance on ordered convention 
abnormally fast.


Then murk clears head and heart shows above
any doubt as wakening happens
and logic confirms ~ ~  you have fallen in love.

Many thanks Carlos for dropping by and leaving such a supportive review of Wakening.
Yes, love can be like that, turning a perfectly rational mind totally on end. All of the things the poem describes do occur, and it's a wonder we put up with such an invader. On the other hand, it did inspire The Sonnets.
