Symmetry

Walking in nature sparks inquisitive thoughts

Attempts to make sense of Earth’s spontaneity

While looking for conformity —

Patterns that organize life

Concealed by a kaleidoscope of vegetation

The forest floor absent directional white lines

Paths, warn by life, meander without signs

The architect of creation rejected blueprints

Satisfied to doodle shapely shadows

Permitting designs freedom to sprout

The disorder inspires incoherent thoughts

That cut me loose from expectations

Letting me float like a balloon

Forming an attitude free of should and should haves

Above the chaos that defines me

Above the canopy of trees, I observe life

Differently

The canvas unites all the pieces

Like a jigsaw puzzle

Assembling one spectacular

Scene of unity

Where I once observed anarchy

Resides purpose

Where there were pieces strewn

And missing

I witness the entirely

As it was intended

From the chaos comes order

Our world creates a bruise on my heart

Walking among the trees brings peace

The wilderness unorganized and unkept

In reality,holds everything in its proper place

Untainted by the hands of mankind

Each item serves a purpose

moss, limbs, trees, ferns, mud, sunshine, and rain

Together unite to create peace and unity

Turning the chaos to solace
