Darkling shadows encrusted with greed Dapple this sordid landscape Twisting carelessly through the bleeding eyes Which protrude from all directions. Hearts raped of Springtime's bloom Throw faith to rest with the carrion Decaying in the lazy moments That waft through polluted clouds. But I hold a spark against the dreamless... A lullaby fashioned of moldable starlight Glitters through my veins The sinew of me pulsing in rhythm With the whisper of every God. Holding tight to the swinging tendrils That fold us all into one I scream for a union in spirit For we all possess the same light. The skeptics, the hopeless, the untouchable (The things I was and may still somewhat be) Listen deeply to the beat thriving here And together...let's change our destiny. *Krista Knutson* "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar."

Alwye, as always, well done... ...from the dark... ...into the light... even when we question ourselves Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Krista, This is a magnificant piece (as always!)! You have the ability to knock someone over with just a few words. Dreams are precious things, and dreamers are even more precious.

Krista: This was a lovely piece with many notable lines. My favorite by far, though, was the one from which you derived the title. Your title caught my eye, and your words captured my attention. Well done. --Linda Remember: maintaining a positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will certainly annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. |

The spark you hold against the dreamless is a powerful one! Your dream is one that this world needs to fulfill. A strikingly beautiful poem, I have to echoe Janet and say that "The sinew of me pulsing in rhythm With the whisper of every God." was a great line! Another excellent piece of writing, but I've never seen less from you, sweetheart  Abrahm Simons "I'm not sick, but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in Hell." - Harvey Danger |
