Outer World, Inner Cause by Nancy Pawley

The sharpened quill consigns contemporary knowledge
to variegated tomes
A never-ending query diversifies environmental issues, global views
Extemporaneous facts half-cloistered in illuminated shadings

The Postal Messenger was duly sent to resurrect chaotic theories
found in the Futile Manuscripts
Stupefied souls playing skewered screwball scrimmage
Perpetual acts of massive guilt releasing life’s next foolish move

Erudite liaisons stockpile empty pockets of inferiority
offering erroneous assumptions
Ironic pranks and reckless propaganda, meandering borderlines
Entrenched with jagged edges, crimson contoured scars

The outer world keeps rushing by in breathless expectations
Precarious positionings
Captured moments summarized as riptide currents by temporal effects
Time offers no resistance, heartfelt yearnings cannot be replaced

My literate ears still harken to the inner gateway’s cause
Prophecy’s counter revolution
Myriad candles covering my high-walled monastery
Are slumbering concepts hidden deep inside the charnel ruins

Awakened by the tears that rained upon my helpless feelings
Transformation represents rebirth
Ideas freefalling from sweet love’s perception
Released a healing panacea of Monarch butterflies
