Only Sanity

"I say unto you: one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star." -Nietzsche

I lift my arms
to embrace you
and
swirling eddies
race
around you

Where is there
not
chaos?

I kiss you,
touch your cheek,
whisper
your name and
chaos
overflows
your turbulent heart

Chaos
is the
dance
of our souls

It is the
only
sanity
