Beneath a canopy of shattering blue,
The fragments of a heavy mind take flight,
Where shifting clouds absorb the things he knew,
And turn the heavy waking world to light.
The earth is bare, a quiet, silent stage,
Where gravity and thoughts begin to part,
An endless sky unrolling like a page,
To hold the quiet sighs of an exhausted heart.
Kudos to all participants and especially the winner. This was a 5 in my ratings but overall I didn't find any that was less than a 4. Fantastic submissions and a truly challenging challenge.
