Thankies! I'm glad it made you think, it's essentially what I want when I write . Yes, true that it was a bit black and white, I tend to do that a lot . I'm working to fix that habit. Anyways, to post a bit that I wrote for a contest...

A Soul’s Reprieve

Insomnia strikes
Again
Another sleepless night
Left out to ponder the world
From the eyes of the abused
Unrelenting memories
Toss in my mind
Stirring the demons
A rally of darkness
Protesting this state of corruption

Swiftly flows the silence
In a room of confessed ignorance
No silence is great enough
To quiet the inner beasts
No silence can comfort
The deadened child

A moonless sky
A spoof of clouds
Crisp breezes of numbness
Eternity lies in every moment
A droning of life
Drowned out by the peace of the night sky
Every soul pauses to watch the stars
Every thought belittled...

The horrors in a soul never cease
Only pause to watch in wonder
As this power entwined in them, too,
Becomes a dominent majesty

~*~*~*~

I know the last line could be stronger, anyone have any ideas of alterations to the wording?
