Mysterious attack on reality when love appears.

Life has its High Moments by Steve Slimm

Making Sense.

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

Change in events 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, and rises above
Any doubt, you realize you have fallen in love.

Change is always difficult, but change as in falling in love wow! It can be terrifying, magical, mystical and beautiful. Your expressive way of relating this is admirable.

I am still waiting to outgrow my propensity for falling in love without warning; with men, with poems, with words, music, food..ideas. This is a lovely description of that messy battlefield of emotions we all inhabit.
