I'm stretching my arms as far as they will go.
I'm reaching for something that no longer exists.
It's something that fell into the abyss long ago,
but it's something I still long for.
I still catch glimpses of it,
even as the black mist swirls around me.
It captures my newly formed soul,
and takes me to a higher power.
I'm still reaching into the darkness.
Looking restlessly for the one thing I need.
The people I have lost and need to find,
are still lost behind the shadows.
I will look for the rest of my mortal life,
and when I leave this war-filled world,
I will still be searching for every lost soul.
I will still be reaching, reaching for you.

OH WOW!!!
This was awesome!!! Good thing I didnt read your stuff before I entered your contest i would have been intimidated!! -
I think your ending is quite lovely. It was a twist I hadn't expected, given the rest of the poem. Some of the repetition you used added to the piece, but some seemed to blur the focus. Your formatting was good too. I wish you well in the contest!

I admire the innovative and imaginative talent that I see busy at work here. It's always a pleasure to view firsthand the productive formulation of another persons thought processes put into work. I can almost feel the depth of loss within the heart and soul as they stretch forth for something that's unattainable and unexplainable. Very nicely formatted as well. Thank you for taking the time to enter my contest. Good luck!
