The night seems quiet,
with the wind unforgiving
as it chills my heart.
As Pain wraps his bony fingers around my soul,
dead secrets awaken.
Yes the night seems quiet,
but my ears throb
from the sound of silent voices
begging to be heard.
The air is thick with
Contempt and Anger,
of Fear;
a lost Hope.
Shadow has a hold of this land
and light a fear,
for even when the light enters,
the darkness does not understand it.
Death lingers here
with the unspoken pleas left unheeded,
the creeping darkness left unpierced,
and my heart as dark as my ways...

The silence of darkness, and its wonders.
Great write.
Thanks for entering. -
oh my, dear...
this was simply wonderful. you fit the prompt like it was no problem at all.
given the piece, it probably really wasn't XD
this was great... i liked you word choice and flow. it was coherent and was a wonderful oxy-moron of a piece. just what i was looking for.
i congratulate you on fulfilling the prompt {right now you're the first to fulfill it the very best} and wish you luck.
