"Chaos of Now" Inspired by A Brilliant Night of Stars and Ice:

Chaos of Now

Standing firmly

in the midst of

frantic hands and feet,

words demanding acknowledgement,

the feeling of powerlessness

against the inevitable.

Creating my own

moment of solace

in the middle of this,

I remember yesterday:

moving with purpose,

words interspersed with laughter,

the feeling of hope

for the upcoming possibilities.

The peace of yesterday has passed.

The innocence of not knowing then

of this chaos that is reality now

is lost,

irretrievable.

Doubt for reattaining peace

weighs upon me

as I take in

the broken pieces

walking and falling around me.

Deep breath.

Step forward.

Farewell to peace;

it’s time to act.
