Wandering Through the Chasm of Darkness

I look before me
In the darkness
There is a chasm
Deep as forever
Dark as ebony
Lifeless as an ancient grave
Echoes of voices
Long since faded into the blackness
Still resound from jagged walls
Still trying to find a single person to listen
Pleading for someone to hear
Begging for a person to care
Below jagged rocks
Bones of the hundred, hundred
Broken, shattered, mere pieces
Laying strewn as far as the eye can see
Souls lost to despair wander among the dead
Looking for a way out
Trying to find eternal peace
Wander through the chasm
Crying for lost lives
Wanting one chance
One ray of sun to show them the way out
The light never comes
The dark become eternally darker
And the souls
Lost through their own despair
Wandering a hopeless path
Blind to everything
Hope once lost
Never to be found
Still they search

you asked if you could use my iraq soldier in a magazine. Yes. I would like to know when and what magazine so that I may show my husband.
