Array ( [sid] => 171170 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Beautiful Rift [time] => 2012-03-06 11:48:34 [hometext] => Reckless abandon can be such sweet ecstasy, while at the same time it can tear your life apart. [bodytext] => The rift...it comes... in blackened swirls
a battered sail... life unfurls,

fade back to black... and watch the dawn,
never forget... what is gone,

a tender touch... a fleeting truth,
watch it die... beneath the noose,

broken, bleeding, but never beaten,
hold me tight... this feeling... fleeting...

like the dark can't hold the dawn,
a single note inside a song,

always there... with so much beauty,
soothing, reeling, mountainous duty,

come love, come hate, come precious pain,
come life, come tears, come pouring rain,

drink it in, and tear a rift,
beneath these sharp and jagged cliffs,

jump headfirst... and don't look back,
meld yourself... into the black,

fly through darkness... a shining knight,
and like the dawn... release your light,

piercing beauty... bold devotion,
breaking through with sweet compulsion,

Always fighting, never ending,
through the night, this light is bending,

light implodes, such beauty... breathless,
An iron will... such power... reckless,

Cease... the rift... forever broken,
held together... with soft words spoken.

A Beautiful Rift

The rift...it comes... in blackened swirls
a battered sail... life unfurls,

fade back to black... and watch the dawn,
never forget... what is gone,

a tender touch... a fleeting truth,
watch it die... beneath the noose,

broken, bleeding, but never beaten,
hold me tight... this feeling... fleeting...

like the dark can't hold the dawn,
a single note inside a song,

always there... with so much beauty,
soothing, reeling, mountainous duty,

come love, come hate, come precious pain,
come life, come tears, come pouring rain,

drink it in, and tear a rift,
beneath these sharp and jagged cliffs,

jump headfirst... and don't look back,
meld yourself... into the black,

fly through darkness... a shining knight,
and like the dawn... release your light,

piercing beauty... bold devotion,
breaking through with sweet compulsion,

Always fighting, never ending,
through the night, this light is bending,

light implodes, such beauty... breathless,
An iron will... such power... reckless,

Cease... the rift... forever broken,
held together... with soft words spoken.

I really like this one. It goes into detail the existence of life and tackles it in an emotional manner.
