Power Of Words by Nancy Pawley

Young Annica says to her best friend, Jim
why are none of your stories uplifting
like a sunrise perfected and filled to the brim
with lavender hours, soft clouds slowly drifting?

With eyes that are downcast, Jim faintly replies
all I'm promised are monsters and roadwhores
completely controlling hellos and goodbyes
the opening and closing of life's swinging doors

Annica:
Spring turtles wear helmets as they bask in the sun
on the banks of the fast flowing river
swimming and diving, splashed with innocent fun
accepting what's offered, partakers and givers

Jim:
I seriously doubt that the lay of the land
can give me good reasons for living
a nightmare surreal is what I understandand
a turbulant surface leaves me shaking and shivering

Annica:
Spotted butterflies sporting gossamer wings
that float among pink perfumed roses
giggles and laughter as children are playing
under blue skies and pot 'o gold rainbows

Jim:
The outside world is parched beyond reason
Unconsecrated thoughts of spiritual demise
Bitter rewards, a thunderhead season
Love is a feeling that mystifies

Annica:
God's reason for making this world is His love
the truth that was lost now is found
The angels sing praises in heaven above
Good overcomes evil in Life's battleground

Both sorrow and joy are weighed in the balance
Each offers its own mating call
Victims or victors of each circumstance
In deserts of drought or refreshing rainfall
