Distinctive: Chaotic Absorption

Fascinated and mystified,
Equilibrium disrupted by
The manifested multifaceted vibrations,
Carried away by excitation and exultation.

Tumultuous rapids
Disturb and agitate,
Flow blasting through
And tempests soaking and roaring,

Caught on the deluge,
Tossed wildly about
Upon wave after wave,
Terrified of drowning in the storm,

Nevertheless, captivated by
The roiling, thrashing, foaming stream,
Swirling around rocks
And catapulting over waterfalls,

Mesmerized and frightened,
Delighted and repelled,
Pleased and hurt;
These expansions and contractions rock the spirit

So that nothing is certain,
No anchor holds,
No dam restrains the torrent,
Everything flying apart but all together,

All things flailing about
But inseparable,
Down the endless river,
Rushing and churning aimlessly,

Yet, all is play,
Even amidst the fierce cataracts,
The riotous waters are treacherous
But the river can frolic as well as demolishing,
Rejoicing in as well as rejecting and ejecting.
