A light instrument flows, ink darkness; folded within Flowers; a painless, healing, prescription of treatment Such secure grounding, found; in glowing obsidian Happiness; gives sharp antithesis of lifes oblivion Tectonic; the plate layer produces a fiery quill of lament A light instrument flows, ink darkness; folded within Waving; a molten brush of colors, results cascadian A surgeons gift; to be given, a unique scalpel of torment Such secure grounding, found; in glowing obsidian Emotional eruptions; give way to a physical custodian Islands of hope; from a mind, of seas with dubious intent A light instrument flows, ink darkness; folded within Feelings so igneous; venting becomes it's guardian A healing phase; melting purposely cooled stone indent Such secure grounding, found; in glowing obsidian A cinder cone; written to perform acts so tragedian Dormant, till; the next event of this calderas' fulfillment A light instrument flows, ink darkness; folded within Such secure grounding, found; in glowing obsidian

This particular one I just wrote because I like the form... I did enter it into This or That...(The title will change to my intended after the contest) I don't enter many contests during the year. Typically over the winter seems to be when I have the most time for them. Thank you very much for the compliment! A.S.
