Something In Nothingness



Dark and bleak
Cold and barren
Frozen
Moonlight
Someone, something
Watches;
Waiting
Nothing will grow here
Nothing goes on here
What you do here
Is your choice
Good or evil
Hope or loss
Will you cry out to the one you love
Our Father, Who Art In Heaven,
The one whom loves us first,
Or will you go your own way
Which leads to darkness
And decay

    I would hang that one on my wall. Well done. I could use a rating every now and then I got plenty of views but they forget to rate me.
