Wandering Through the Chasm of Darkness

I look before me In the darkness There is a chasm Deep as forever Dark as ebony Lifeless as an ancient grave Echoes of voices Long since faded into the blackness Still resound from jagged walls Still trying to find a single person to listen Pleading for someone to hear Begging for a person to care Below jagged rocks Bones of the hundred, hundred Broken, shattered, mere pieces Laying strewn as far as the eye can see Souls lost to despair wander among the dead Looking for a way out Trying to find eternal peace Wander through the chasm Crying for lost lives Wanting one chance One ray of sun to show them the way out The light never comes The dark become eternally darker And the souls Lost through their own despair Wandering a hopeless path Blind to everything Hope once lost Never to be found Still they search

you asked if you could use my iraq soldier in a magazine. Yes. I would like to know when and what magazine so that I may show my husband.
