Part of the Chaos

trying to make an impression on the world

like throwing rocks into the sea

trying to bring to my surroundings a subtle piece of me

every action we bring to this life can it change reality

even if it's an opposite force will it bring equality

we all retain these futile gestures

like some common held belief

but as the waves return my mote

it brings me only slight relief

the wings of the butterfly have stirred the forest air

and i have made a miniscule contribution

an element in the sum of the parts of the ultimate solution

inside the seventh iteration the flaws of order are revealed

no straight lines no simple answers the laws of symmetry repealed

like rocks in the waters of the stream of our existence

we cling to the mortality and awareness of ourselves

what place would we be swept to

if we had the strength to let go

and let the waters take us to wherever they may flow

just part of the chaos, spinning around me

just part of the chaos, part of the synergy of life

just part of the chaos, rising above me

just part of the chaos

are we delivered to the edge of some far forgotten shore

are we engulfed amongst the waves

are our notes added to the score

the symphony continues though it has no shape or form we'll never

change its course forever just breath against the storm

just part of the chaos, spinning around me

just part of the chaos, part of the synergy of life

just part of the chaos, rising above me

just part of the chaos

our crazy minds insist on bringing order to the world

our systems see confusion in a dark cyclonic swirl

the anarchy of nature can't be tamed by you or i

we'll never understand her patterns it's dangerous to try

just part of the chaos, spinning around me

just part of the chaos, part of the synergy of life

just part of the chaos, rising above me

just part of the chaos
