Making Sense.

Events at times can mystify the logical mind
Turn topsy-turvy accepted norms, toss sky-high
Respectable long-held conclusions, and jumble
Normal routine, until irretrievably, it is tumbled.

Change in events can scramble the unprepared brain.
Life appears altered, time patterns never the same.
Confusion reigns, until answers start making sense
Of the questioning 'whys', which storm relentlessly
Over unquestioned acceptance, and then blast
Apart reliance on conventional views very fast.

At last simple clarity reappears rising above
Any doubt, you realize you have fallen in love.

Yes, the heart is an unreasonable and irrational part if the anatomy to allow to make decisions...

When the heart begins to speak instead of the head, all becomes clear...temporarily ;) A wonderful poem - the complexity of the first two stanzas serve to highlight the special message of the concluding couplet. :)

Love, the eternal surrealist; of course, has nothing to do with the mind. Devoted to unreason, it has everything to do with the heart.

You never cease to amaze your many readers, Fay, with the depth and vitality of your poetry! One day, when the truly great internet poets are talked about, your name will surely be mentioned among the top two or three! Carl. Like the prolific and indefatigable Gungalo (Pamela Jackson) who has written over 6 or 7,000 poems, you have probably written even more! Carl.
