Exigencies

Exigencies of restless soul beat loud and chaotic 

Conservatism reigns, despite perceived awakenings 

Mundanity slow extinction; primal call of the exotic 

Seductress of turmoil, inspiring libertine imaginings

In what tumultuous form will change catalyst arrive? 

Instincts feeble, rationality long departed: will conflicted 

Other side vague and ethereal; what chance I survive?

One certainty palpable; for all seasons remain convicted.
