I always enjoy sharing my poetry, so here is a brand-spankin'-new poem I wrote a few days ago. Please feel free to give your opinions about it. It has an awesome (and I mean "awe-inspiring" here, not "cool") story behind it, too, but I will let you all read it first.

"The World Is Dark, the Soul Is Not"
Written 3-28-01; 8:02 pm

With the beauty of the day slipping into the night
We find ourselves stranded in a land of misery
Solitude abounds for these people far away
Their own desires plague their chances of survival
We gaze upon them with sorrowful hearts
Daring to approach what seems to be lost
Do they realize the stars still shine in the dark
Or that the sun/Son is there, yet just not seen
How long will it take for these souls to wake up
To see that darkness is not truly impenetrable
A radiance from within can lead them home
They need not be alone in their solitary dusks
So we must guide them to the lightswitch
Showing them just how to connect to the sun/Son
The silent pleadings and weary cries are not unheard
They are listened to with concern and love
In order to live, they first must be born
For though they are breathing, they aren't alive
Shining a ray of luminescent hope upon them
We together can bring them to life
The highest and strongest breathes into the souls
Awakening and enlivening what had been dormant
A tough feat it is not, for as one we will succeed
Uniting as one body, we will guide them home
Where the steadfast leader will open the door
So you see, nothing is truly dark and lightless
We just need to shine the inner light that comes with being born
