Oh Wet Shiny Warm Flowing A puddle Of myself Spreading ... The larger it gets The weaker my will And the warmer my id. I fear the dark no longer Like a deep pillow of nightfall I slowly settle into its soft folds The pain that has tortured me, drifting Sliding off me like a blanket, as the pool grows ... Crimson. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Contest 445 Standard Any Form" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Sponsor.

The process of weakness into strength, pain into beauty, fear into freedom beautifies your piece of work! Unique and a joy to read! Stay blessed.

Many thanks to you, Besma, it's very dark, but there is beauty in the darkness if we learn to recognize it. Blessings, My Friend! :-) <3
