Beautiful Truth

Darkness comes and the hands of time fall short as minds race to unparalleled levels.

 

A twisted sense of fear and endeavor intertwine as the soul and mind mingle.

 

The heart’s rapid palpitations are an icy strain, yet hope still echoes within.

 

Eternity seems to advance and the smallest glimmer of light begins to grow.

 

Each step, the blend of undying commitment and persistence, is a milestone.

 

The roars of endless tribute are sweet melodies as they grow to deafening heights.

 

Weaving throughout in harmonious ecstasy they swiftly enthrall the senses.

 

Malice drips into faded memories and the greatest of barriers splinter.

 

The light burns to its pinnacle and the vitalizing and sharp air fills the void.

 

The tempest quells, and after years of shadow, light kisses the faces of the freed.

This is a fantastic poem. It draws a very clear picture in my mind, great details. Keep it up.

[Heart Of A Wolf]

Wonderful last line to make an even stronger impression. The first and last lines are the most important. You write them beautifully.

woah. I could spend all day in this poem. Each line is like an eternal point to ponder, and could be posted as an individual piece themselves. There is so much profoundness and depth in these words, at times it echoes my despair, at times my hope. I'll have to go into detail, numbering the lines and commenting that way.
1-this just grabs me by the throat and says "SEE???????? That's what we've been talking about!!!" You're describing my current state here.
2-OUCH. Yes, yes, yes!!!!! Exactly! Why aren't you shouting this from the rooftops??? That is our current dilemma...while it feels chaotic, it's a necessary fusion that won't be stopping any time soon, if at all.
3-Ahh, the heart line. This one could rip mine out. Icy? yes. My hope is fading, but good to see yours is still trapped within. Great line.
4-Amen. Isn't this all it takes to rip one from the edges of death and back into the center of living? It is for me, and very timely for me as well. This should be written on the temple at Delphi.
5-Yes, indeed. Unfortunately for me, I've been stuck in a stall, but you command this line with such authority that I am certain you are not. Excellent message.
6-Yes again. funny, now it reminds me a bit of Tell Tale Heart, though that's not what the first, second, or third read through gave me. It's lovely....I can hear the soft murmur turn into an overwhelming vibration that encompasses the ears and hearts and minds.
7-yes, yes. Reminds me of a weekend I spent in upstate NY chanting. Woah, what a powerful thing to give into the vibrations of sound and revel in the heaven on earth it brings. Of course, it may not have been chanting for you....but you've gotten there your way. Wonderful.
8-AAAAgggghhhh. Yeah. That's a masterpiece, that one. The malice, I hope it does what you say, and the greatest of barriers splintering is so potent, so driven, so genius.
9-A perfect ending to this somewhat primordial soup. I can feel the sharp air slicing down my throat.

This is genius. Just genius.
