pain
   ragged
sharp searing
 hollow empty
     gone

     gone
   waiting
  horrid fear
 mad memory
    wake

      sun
 dream light
 burgeoning
 halleluiah
     born

gone .... wake ... born ... a reverse on chronological linearity invites an upward read, and what a terrific read with a surprising end. Thanks for all your guidance again, be ever dear to me I surrender all love.

Thanks Deborah, I enjoy writing and these contests inspire me. I pretty much never expect to win, when I do it's icing, but to me it's not everything. I don't leave a mark everywhere I go, just knowing I've been there was worth the journey. Thanks so much for the opportunity!-Always Alexandra
