---+ Well, people, here it is: My first submission in God knows how long. I hope you like it. It was a fairly quick write, so pardon the general lack of substance+---

In the pale purple light,
Of the twilight sky -
I saw the perfect vision of grace;
Saw a vision of angels dying...

And one cried out to me,
With mouth agape -
It plead for mercy;
It plead for pity...

Its screams split the Heavens,
Oh, such a mighty thunder -
Such angels God can not save;
And I care not...

In the pale purple light,
Of the twilight sky -
I saw the perfect end to reason;
Saw your God giving up...

And he looked to me with a smile,
The scorn of millenia set upon his face -
There was nothing more that he could do;
And I laughed, joyed by the thought...

Oh, how the Earth trembled then,
Unsure of its fate -
The maker of all was made a fool;
And I care not...

In the pale purple light,
Of the twilight sky -
I saw the ruins of man;
Saw the nature of life...

And the lost souls spoke,
Saying, 'please, please, go' -
They merely wanted to go home;
But I burned the path...

Ah, how purgatory crumbled,
Shattered by my cold -
It prayed for my help;
And I care not...

In the pale purple light,
Of the twilight sky -
I saw the greatest revenge;
Saw God, angels and souls...

And they came for me, flocking,
One by one with grief -
They merely wanted my end;
Oh, how reluctant I was...

Lo', how my mind quaked,
Their wills far too great -
Lord, Lord, they called me home;
And I care not.

and i always knew there was a reason for purple being a fave color of mine. you dominate a mastery here that i truly admire. this was engrossing... and so beautifully done! i did read your toria poem, and it goes well with a nice merlot and a soft dim light, but this one was a phenom of a poem!

kudos!
