OctPoWriMo 2018! Day 17: madness reigns/rains/reins

Madness rains
down around us
and fades into blue.

Our own insanity
reigns, yet makes perfect
sense.

We take life's
reins, heliacally
mastering mania.

We barely
notice chaos;
I fade into you.

Thank you! As it happens, I had to look it up myself. I knew the concept I was after but wasn't sure of the word for it :p
