Behold the Rapture

Forsakenly barren, the world burns around me, pyretic tears freefall from sore eyes, turning to dust on cold shoulders, hysterical lament in screams, I can't bear... Perpetual darkness reaping cruel devastation, grey skies cover the earth in ash, forever consuming, it never sleeps, time abandons the traditional hourglass. In resonance, the rocks call out their creator, mountains crumble as if made of sand, heaven has fallen and with it came light, and, behold.... the promise land.

This was a very interesting poem Serenity and I really liked it..... It sort of pissed me off, reading the first sentence of Carol's comment really ruined the vibe for me. But great poem nonetheless. Take care.
