Foolish Mortals - NaPoWriMo2023 #1
The Foolishness of Mortality
fleeing from absurdity
pitifully clinging to normality
when the truth is
Madness is divine
much better than
simply being fine,
Chaos is not so malign
it is a gift from the Gods
for none are beyond such a flaw
timeless enough to endure
yet something the weak abhor,
Sanctity for the chosen few
who embrace the path true
the harmatia is inevitable
ensorcelled in a fable
that hubris rejects and ignores
when fate will have it that
A foolish destiny will be yours.

Feeling a bit of the chaotic energy; the 'gifts' of madness are not all bad, surely?

Surely not! I’m with DaisyGrace, I love seeing the energy that kicks off NaPo, and this is a prime example of that gorgeous vibe. Stellar way to kick off the month, Viddax. Off and running we go!
