Clutching, Breathing

Submitted by Elizabeth on Fri, 07/02/2010 - 22:16

   

Burning heart, piercing truth       Grace,            Groping…… Tears slide down, swells the embrace         Courage,               Clutching…… Wrenched apart, iron forged between           Resolute,                 Reeling……. Bars torment, numbness dulling          Peace,                  Pleading…... Chains pulling, sunlight fingering           Surmount,                    Slipping…… Limbs weary, soul silently waiting           Bravery,                   Blenching……     Beating, Beating….   Breathing, Breathing…. death     Stillness, Stillness…..   Silence, Silence…… life

Wow, Elizabeth. It's really amazing how only  a few words can bring such strong images.
