Oblivion

Obsidian hearts – no longer beating -
Buried under magna and turned to stone.
Lodged in stupor – consciousness deleting -
In a state where the sun has never shone.
Vast emptiness surrounds them now like outer space.
Infinitude of blackness . . . is this hell?
Obtuseness overwhelmed them and stole their grace.
Never-ending nothingness – it serves them well.

Marilene Evans Date: 9/24/2021 1:59:00 PM Congratulations. They say, hell is here on earth... must be all the high and mighty with all their power and money getting more greedy and self-grandiosity while others are homeless and malnourished. Have a great week-end. Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/26/2021 10:37:00 AM that's a part of it!! thanks, Marilene.

Alexis Y. Date: 9/23/2021 4:53:00 PM WoW! Andrea, You nailed this contest challenge. And hit the ball out of the park. I wanted to use the word “ oblivion,” but I couldn’t come up with anything. You described the word to a T. That sounds like hell( or a type of hell ). Good content and imagery. Congrats in advance- Alexis Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/23/2021 9:35:00 PM Yes, Alexis, it would be like hell!!! Thank you for the comment.
