The world has spun out of it's axis. Gibraltar is crumbling down below. Sequential order Scattered to the four winds; E n v e l o p e d In the conflagration of chaos. Oh, trouble... Once again, you greet me From the stygian abyss. You beckon from the hopeless place We departed, But I must refuse you. I've drifted away from you Like tendrils of smoke. It's too cold and isolating Where you reside; I'm afraid I can no longer be Your ally in loneliness. I choose to dwell in the clouds Where the sun shines brightest. I'd rather float up here With hope As you lie in despair's ruins. I'm comfortably at home In my meridian splendor.

Gibraltar, great metaphor usage, EI. We have the word 'enveloped' in common i've noticed. At home in one's comfort is alright by me. Congratulations on your placement!

No longer you will be made to drift in loneliness in the icy region of hopelessness. You have made up your mind to soar high into the clouds where the sun shall shed sunny beams on you and make you comfortable so that you 'll stay in 'meridian splendor'! Beautiful poem, dear Edward. Congratulations on your high placement.
