Chaos

look up to the sky the cloud formations random choice
look out at the sea the waves breaking without routine
look at the people walking by in such a heavy rush
everything around seems to be total and complete chaos  

but patterns exist everywhere in our sometimes frantic lives
from the beginning of this world to the end of all time
just that we don't have a million spare years to observe
how nature, God's child, repeats herself over and over

but have you ever thrown a pebble into a stream
and observed the beautiful pattern of ripples
what may appear as chaos is in fact total rhythm
that someone like Tchaikovsky could turn into a thing of beauty

these patterns will repeat themselves over and over
the human being will also create patterns in their life
what again may seem as total chaos, and well might be
it is in fact more likely that it is a repeat of a previous action

so though we might think of results as total randomness
more than likely it is a result of complete repetition
love, hate, tolerance, aggression, denial, apathy
the patterns of our lives, our world, is anything but chaos
