Chaotic Cadence

Light that shone through the trees
in rays that scorched the midnight ground
and brightened a path for me to see
as I searched my way through a darkened wood.

I found on my nightly walk, through fallen leaves 
and the damp air of an early fall 
the quiet reflection lost in the busy cadence 
of a chaotic life.

The sounds in the darkness
drowned out the noise from the highway 
that endless rush of mass with no feeling
no emotion
no decency

Life can seem full ofchaos and zombification and indifferences of the masses, but at leat we have the silent paths to walk that helps us make sense of the senseless.
Cadence is the perfect word to describe the feeling your words convey so well.
One thing though, did you mean shone instead of shown in the first line? Otherwise, perfect :)

It is sad. Life is too crazy sometimes...I'm glad you enjoyed this.

I totally understand this one! Wow. You have carved out in words that feeling I felt at night many times.
This is so good.

[James]

Glad you enjoyed it. I'm struggling to write anything

[Papaya]

I know what you mean. I feel a bit uninspired.
I could probably write a million things but they'd be depressing and angry. :) I want to write something happy.

[James]

write a limerick...that'll cheer you up

A

Yep,
Stanly Fenny was roasting a weenie
When he saw her in a bikini
He asked "what do you do"
She said "how about you"
And he ran away awfully speedy
