ode to the inevitable

[skjalff]

bright shadows on sunken corpses
of dreams bred in captivity
flower to never bloom
a miracle choked into nothingness
forest of whispers in depths of an ocean
static debris of useless words
there is witchcraft in silence
vigil to the blaring neverhood
ironic smile at an old mistake
this curse was my own
my disappearing voice in the deafening anthem
and in this choir I belong
singing my ode to the inevitable

Wow... that's awesome... short, but really packs a punch.

I particularly liked this line:

static debris of useless words

I really like the way you woven the words together in this.

Nice
