Chaos

The patterns of Chaos

 

Chaos

look up to the sky the cloud formations random choice

look out at the sea the waves breaking without routine

look at the people walking by in such a heavy rush

everything around seems to be total and complete chaos

but patterns exist everywhere in our sometimes frantic lives

from the beginning of this world to the end of all time

just that we don't have a million spare years to observe

how nature, God's child, repeats herself over and over

but have you ever thrown a peeble into a stream

and observed the beautiful pattern of ripples

what may appear as chaos is in fact total rhythm

that someone like Tchaikovsky could turn into a thing of beauty

these patterns will repeat themselves over and over

the human being will also create patterns in their life

what again may seem as total chaos, and well might be

it is in fact more likely that it is a repeat of a previous action

so though we might think of results as total randomness

more than likely it is a result of complete repetition

love, hate, tolerance, aggression, denial, apathy

the patterns of our lives, our world, is anything but chaos

Repetition is what man's is good at. We have 3000 years plus some of written history. War and hate have done little. WW1 then WW2 were to be the end of war. Today we ain't far away from a world war for oil and religion. Your poem danced on many questions. I sit and worry for my poor kids. My father left a screw-up world for me. What dis I leave for my kids? Not very much. A excellent poem. You made me think again.

I find this write interesting...you have a point we do tend to veiw todays busy society as chaotic when it is in fact just a pattern of daily life. Nice job you give readers something to think about when reading this.

So true and very poignant love! The pattern is in everything but that does not mean we cannot break that pattern! One ripple can cause a wave of immeasurable proportion in another place, we all just have to wake up and see that ripple for what it is lol Great poem xx
