Order in the Chaos

You know it’s there,

That’s why you search

For order in the chaos

And though quite blind,

You know you’ll find

Some order in the chaos

You seek out others who can teach

You so that you can reach

Some order in the chaos

When the ground’s uneven beneath your feet,

Keep stumbling, you can’t help but meet

The order in the chaos

It isn’t some elusive dream-

If you drink enough milk- you’ll get to the cream

That’s order in the chaos

Into the patterned substrate you

Will stare, until it melts into view

That’s order in the chaos

It’s the textured curtains of a childhood room

The wallpaper in the midnight gloom

There’s order in the chaos

The broody storm clouds squat above

The unexpected thrill of love

That’s order in the chaos

And though there will be boundary days

You navigate the painful maze

To find order in the chaos

For walls and gullies are both clues

As are colours, shapes and hues

For finding order in the chaos.

And when you find it, you can rest

Until you need to leave the nest

And seek more order

In

The

Chaos.
