White pained windows cloud my view as I look out into the darkened world ahead. Reverting back to my old self as I watch the darkness of the green contrasting with the grief stricken sky above. Pools of rain shatter against the well worn black top road where many hopes and many dreams lie long forgotten' reminding me of scars hidden deep beneath the surface.
Living in black and white and stuck here in the shadows, I watch the colors slowly trickle through the cracks that have inevitably always been, never ceasing to taunt my aching mind.
This dark haze gives me only glimpses of the outside world, awakening my mind only when the moon rests its gentle tears upon my cheeks, kissing new life into my ghostly skin, bathing me in sweet release.
But daylight comes quickly still.
Crashing, crashing
Golden waves beckon me further, the wind twisting angrily through my hair, calling my soul, rumbling at my feet, laughing at my mind, questioning my existence.

A very beautiful piece. Even though it's desolate. I enjoyed the feel of nature in this I must say. Font is a little bright though.
I think everyone questions their exsistence at some point in life. Well done and thanks for entering.

Very beautiful, Miss Vron, making the old guy jealous since he can't do this at all. Wonderful contrasts and descriptions that make the picture so very clear. Well done and a great job of using what's around you to inspire you.
Love and hugs
