Chaos isn't Cute

Chaos isn't Cute

A Poem by Thomas W Case
"

Here's a link to my YouTube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn9IAYo0wZE&t=50s

"
You were worried about
the storm, so you
invited it in,
wanting to control the
damage through your
kindness and friendship.
But you can't.
The storm doesn't have
a conscience.
It will never be a cute
pet on your leash.

Thank you.
So many Storms in the Great Literature of the past. I think particularly of the Storm at Sea in Dickens' 'David Copperfield'. Really Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Lots of truth in these words, my friend. The best course of action when you find yourself in a storm is to take cover.

So very true.
Such an apt description of the way co-dependency works and its final results. Excellent again.

Thank you, my friend.
Hard to tame the storm; we have to navigate it to the best we can.
Storms are for a reason; we got to see through them the outcome.
Wow!

True for chaos in all its many forms. An important lesson to remember.

Thank you. So true.
Like the vibe on this one.....reminding us of the wild, untameable mother nature....which can equally be applied to us humans!
Yeah watch out for those storms, as they usually leave some kinda wreckage behind...:)

No, the storm will never be a pet or a tool we can direct at just one problem ... chaos should never be the first choice. ~Jim
