Great and Sudden Change

"Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change."

Great and sudden change
Like clanging cymbals to the mind
Distortion
Disruption
Desolation
Despair.
The mind flounders, Unaware.
Unable to find footing
It slips on the precipice of something new
Something not normal.
Something out of the blue.

Suddenly thrown into chaos
World turned upside down
Night as Day
Day as Night
Each blended into the other
When will it end.
