The Beginning At Last

Consume The Chaos

in

In dreams awash

A spiral down

You must reach out

And seize the crown

In elegant brutality

You set the devil

Demon free

A spectrum swirling

Light and sound

Consume the chaos

Seize the crown

      Thank you, Tash. If we don’t control it, it can easily control us, I suppose

        A couple of extra large blood pressure cuffs will do

    Now, this one does seem a bit cryptic to me. 😅😬 Well, here’s to seizing the crown and consuming the chaos!

      I was inspired by something I’ll keep to myself, but the rest, I leave to the reader to take their own meaning from 😊

    Great picture to go alone with your description. I would not want to be the one wearing the crown. Or wait is he wearing the crown… i just saw your poem in a whole different light 😉

      How’s that for noncommittal? 😄

    The devil’s been set free a long, long time ago. Good poem, Kevin.

      Thank you very much, Mary. I can’t argue that, but then, more devils, particularly the inner ones, seem to appear. Way of life, I guess.

      Thank you very much, Thomas. This one kind of flowed to me after a moment of inspiration. I was lucky to capture it. ⚔

    “In elegant brutality” and “Consume the chaos” are my favourite lines from this poem. I love this fierce rallying cry.

      That line came to me at work one night and I had to hold onto it because I really wanted to use it. Thank you, Nicole. Glad you liked it. 🙏🙏🙏
