Wakening

 

 

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.

Reviews

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

Incisive and spoken from the heart. An enjoyable read. Continued success in your writing journey.

[Fay Slimm]

Many thanks Carlos for dropping by and leaving such a supportive review of Wakening.

[John the Baptist]

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.

[Fay Slimm]

Yes truly agreed John - -the Sonnets were written by someone smitten and look at how many in a similar position have used their metaphoric quotes - thanking you kindly for your visit and read of my humble version of love and its infamous effects.

[Neville]

.... there's no doubt about it whatsoever .. that's precisely what happens .. perfectly poetically put ....

[Fay Slimm]

Thought you would agree mi amigo - love and its passions turn minds awry until desires are sated -- or so they say ........... x

[Neville]

...... who in their write mind would disagree ...... x
