Obliquely Opaque

obliquely opaque opaque – soft light sifts through stained drape filtered through muted sunshine’s dancing shape trapped within dim confines - dust covered trust love’s charred remains - victim of unbridled lust awakening to darkness – blinding brightness stumbling sightless through outdated rightness alone with thinking’s disconnected fears seekers reconstructing new frontiers layering more dust upon the Grail adrift amid the thoughts they never sail searching without - for that within saddled with past - and future sin oblique – soft angle breaking stride questioning the truths - that “must abide” within the hearts and souls - of all but one awakened to the truth - that there are none 8/27/2015

Well the contest had a "don't ask - don't tell" binder attached to it....sooo. It just didn't tickle the contest theme enough to entice the judge.
