Lovely

Oh the lovely messes of things,

oh the lovely chaos of things,

we arrange things in neat rows

until the wind arrives 

and jumbles them up, 

then we walk gingerly through the mess and chaos,

an obstacle course of uncertainty under our feet,

but still we smile as we sigh

at the lovely messes of things,

the lovely chaos of things,

life.

Love how you took the complexity and chaos of our existence and simplified it to a singularity, Life. I am fascinated with the concept of chaos. It is said that chaos is the result of a fractal. A repeating of a singular pattern into complex dynamic systems - chaos. Your poem just says it in a lovelier way. Thank you.
