Under Disbelief

Under a rainbow lies darkness… Below the colors, spilled forgiveness… A bird in a box whose wings are silenced… Etched on a wall is pure defiance… Innocence invaded by fear and disbelief… A torn smile uncovers grief… Squinting eyes slowly close and sleep… As tears dry and darkness creeps…
inspired by the movie "The Raven"

LIke Gail says this is a powerful image. I am trying to remember this movie. It seems there have been been more than one Raven movies. But of course, they would all be dark! I like this one, Michael. So nice to hear from you. BTW, you should go see that new movie, dark skies. Talk about dark!!!
