Like a two sided coin
The substance of luck
A fifty-fifty chance
But who is it that flips

Thoughts
Chemical words
A language of erosion
Imprinted in invisible matter
Formed out of static probabilities
A liquid that does not flow
But who is it that merely sips

Everything good
Created blindly
Without intent
Everything bad
Created blindly
Without relent

Thoughts
Guide us
But they are not created by us
Why should this be
We are all servants
Of the happenstance
We are all the multiple personalities
Of Coincidence
There is only one mind that exists
And we are all fragments of it
Created from cataclysmic explosions
Like tragic events in a childhood
Splitting apart the cosmic mind
Into Shards that become our reflections

Everything good
Created blindly
Without intent
Everything bad
Created blindly
Without relent

In the Shards
That become our reflections
We are all
The Multiple Personalities
Of Coincidence [comments] => 3 [counter] => 179 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Onslaught [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

I very much enjoyed this.
Unconventional yet nonetheless thought provoking. Some well thought-out ideas and concepts...theories, even.
You have raised some excellent analogies and interesting ideas.
A stimulating read.

=], what brought me to read this piece was the fact that you wrote it and the title, and i wasnt dissapointed either. you presented your main focal point strongly as you always seem to do in the works i read by you. you always have a superb ending, and one part that makes the poem stand out among others, and in this poem it is in the 4th stanza.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
