I observe an orb of pulsating light
whispering to trees who were blushing red
of sanity hanging by a single thread.
In a world full of chaos and mayhem
our love for each other is the only thing
that’s constant, the other being noon afire
If I could calm the pensive night
and endure defiance of a rising day
would sing of love and uncomplicated things

In a world full of chaos and mayhem
our love for each other is the only thing
that’s constant…
Without such love, all is chaos indeed.

Sanity does indeed appear to hang by a single thread.

‘sanity hanging by a single thread’ describes our current world so well. It’s a wonderful thought, that ‘love for each other is the only thing that’s constant’, but even that’s not uncomplicated. As always, beautiful, Sanaa.
