Deep thinkers, Give me some soul!



This contest is pretty simple.

Enter a write that will make me think, feel and delve into your thoughts.

I prefer the use of metaphors and free verse, but all are welcome.

Please try and keep it under 40 lines.

I'm open to most subjects and topics, especially spiritual (not religious) poetry or anything that has that "reaL" feeling that you can fall into.

however...

I do not want suicide, self harm, erotica or chat lingo.

Thats it.  

Good luck to all.
