Exile

Scared lost divinity waved beyond my grasp
Religious entitlement has damned the rest to hell
Here I sit floating in a fish filled stream 
Black filled eyes cold hearts as well
Once the known a comfort now all lost
I speak I raise my head a sign some recourse
Is nothing familiar a comfort at no cost
Unhinged broken cast away a fledgling alone
Dark caverns offer safety no longer warm
Shivering cold a visitor at deaths’ door
Can anybody hear my voiceless cries 
The pounding in my head high above clouds soar

This is the best dramatic verse I have read in a long time. The desolute-ness of this poem has intrigued me and has sent my imagination into overdrive. Well done, Kelli, and appreciated.
