leaking and escaping.

Waiting to retrieve all banned goods
And outside time.

Premium Member Julie's Grief
What is this sound through day and night?
This eerie cry, this muffled moan?
Like an animal trapped alone 
in distant darkened wood. 

It does not stop, save brief respite,
to draw some breath, and then again, 
unearthly...

Cold, so cold, as everything seems to enshroud me 
encasing light, the flame of life - darkness within.

things not easily forgot,
comfortable living 
or their soul...
