The first line of this poem: ‘Trust the intelligence of chaos’, is a phrase borrowed from Jeff Foster. I was inspired with these few lines after reading it…
Trust the intelligence of chaos
It wants to find its way
Through layers of you
It wants to knock at your door
And make you open your heart
It wants to be protected by you
And let itself melt into your emptiness
It wants to see that it is not a bad guy
To be looked upon and pushed away
It wants to be found inexistant
In the inexistence that you are
It wants to be your friend
Claim your love again and again
It wants you to know that it cares
You only can find its implicit order
