Spiral

Into pitch
Never black
Way out 
Arms stretched 
Reach for 
Divinity

Otherwise
Reverse

Overly opaque bones
Underestimated terror
Trembling shrill tones
Waking the death-bearer
Armed to the teeth
Raging empty sheath
Damned

Hi Tim, I could apply this to mental instability or war but I guess both are intertwined. Frightening images you describe but they ring true!
