The moment is in, the olden times are over
As an indigo rain falls from a crimson sky
The tempest has formed in secret cyclogenesis
No less humble than the sun
But in all these moments hearts have changed
In a substantial subtle way
As the golden rainbow streaks the sky
Heralding a peace once been and forlorn
And after all these times, the makings are incomplete
No more closer than a limit to the infinite
What is individualism after all?
Maybe it will only take time to truly know
In this silent moment of our lives
I will hear the titanium bells
Of lamentation close and afar
Maybe the sun is eclipsed
The air is so cold
But maybe yet it is so refreshing
Hopefulness maybe more than a firmament
It is however just so very warm
Maybe more and maybe less
What I have learned is for the best
I have to continue to live my life
That is all that I must say
As an indigo rain falls from a crimson sky
The tempest has formed in secret cyclogenesis
No less humble than the sun
But in all these moments hearts have changed
In a substantial subtle way
As the golden rainbow streaks the sky
Heralding a peace once been and forlorn
And after all these times, the makings are incomplete
No more closer than a limit to the infinite
What is individualism after all?
Maybe it will only take time to truly know
In this silent moment of our lives
I will hear the titanium bells
Of lamentation close and afar
Maybe the sun is eclipsed
The air is so cold
But maybe yet it is so refreshing
Hopefulness maybe more than a firmament
It is however just so very warm
Maybe more and maybe less
What I have learned is for the best
I have to continue to live my life
That is all that I must say

no.
you have good ideas here but they weren't put across in a very poetic way. using more poetic device in the future might help you.
thanks for entering. -
no
For some reason, this came across as very forced to me and the flow was kind of choppy. Also, I think the last line was too abrupt, it could have been worded differently.
Please wait for the other judge to comment.

Reflective, abstract, inspiring.
Perhaps I'm a sucker for literary devices, but the way you used them was magnificent.
