Do you hear the silence of an empty night?
When the wind fails to whisper to the stars,
Or the breeze drops the unwary bird from flight,
To leave it broken, burdened by a thousand scars.
Do you see the quiet of a barren morn?
The hollow sounds of hope slowly dying
Leaving nothing in its wake to be reborn
But the endless shouts of hundreds crying.
Do you feel the painful blade of fate?
The silver edge that falsely shines
Refined by a thousand years of hate
And soundly tempered by world designs.
Do you know it? That whisper in the night?
It is darkness, the fading of the light.

 reports, 1d 10h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. If you do too and aren’t scared to admit it, then copy and paste this in your signature.

thanks, i was going for creepy-esque.
when my teacher heard it he was like... "oo, an old theme with a new twist. Nice." so of course i, being normally a free verse poet was pleased that i had managed to produce a rhyming poem that made sense.
