Listen to poem:

Raven Skies

Being lost in your mind; and left alone to roam; In a house with all the lights burning; but nobody's home In the clear night; stars burning brightly; but no lines drawn or shown Constellations; the only connection; that's never physically known But that's where salvation lies; Hidden behind those dead eyes; In the infinite unions; found; in those raven skies

I like this format in particular - the combination of rhyme and longer/shorter lines. The subject is intriguing as well - congrats on your poem of the day!
