Soul Survivor

Soul Survivor Across the long aisle of dawn At cost of the core of my soul Through dense fog I stumble as pawn In search of long humbled bell toll Seeking life lines long undrawn Erased from the tear covered scroll. Perhaps in a vision I seek New maps to awaken my past, Give voice to the bells, let them speak Un-darken the shadows yet cast Make sense of the lines that now streak Cold parchment that I must hold last. 7/12/21015 submitted to – Quatrets – Poetry contest sponsor – Isaiah Zerbst

wow, sounds almost like the end of a civilization reminding me of Apocolypto or something. I especially like the second part. Gotta get mine up soon too for this contest!!

Thanks Andrea, I just hope I got all the subtle nuances of this rhymes and meter correct.
