“What a tangled web we weave. . .”

When every thought we reveal

Is not the dream we perceived

And now stand in disbelief

Of what these roots and tangles mean.

A single cell,
Latching on to another.
Then begins the process of building
A complex net.
Multiple cells
Latching on to each other,
Interconnected,
Chaos within a boundary,
Orderly chaos-perhaps?

Within this chaos,
Life throbs, thrives,
Picks up ideas, images,
Leading to some more chaos
In thought process,
In relationships,
Generation of stereotypes,
Fixated notions.
 
As time progresses,
The web becomes more complex,
Knotted, twisted-
Like many balls of wool
Opened all at once,
Leading to a complete mess
Difficult now to unravel
Find the ends.
 
With time, the tangled mess
Leaves one helpless,
And peace comes
Only when everything stops;
Eternal rest!

Reena’s Exploration Challenge- Layers

Reena is the host of Reena’s Exploration Challenge

PROMPT #154

What you see below is neither an image prompt nor a theme.

I prefer to see it as a background on which you have to write something.

Do you see layers here, or is it just a two-dimensional image? Is something hiding out there, which you need to discover? Or something just pops into the mind as you see it one more time?

Let me see the creativity that pours out in the foreground.

So, here you go ….

<^><^><^><^>

Layers upon layers

Facts and truth intermixed

What is right and what is false

Is my eye sharp enough to discern

It is not all white nor it is all black

A thousand shades inhabit the in-between

Find your reality and your truth from this jumble

For each of have a unique way of looking at life

<^><^><^><^>

From cloudy chaos,

Clarity flickers like a beacon of hope,

Luring into her maze of amazement,

Capturing in her trap,

She walks out like a mocking maiden,

Along with her bagful of ideas and tricks,

String of creativity remains to be woven!

Thoughts :- Many a times ideas strike like lightning only to vanish within no time leaving me in eternal bewilderment. A tribute to those ideas which were never penned, nonetheless are an inspiration for this poem.
