Array ( [sid] => 87856 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Burning Out Across the Atmosphere [time] => 2005-03-18 06:32:10 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The stars are out for picking.

If each reprosents one who has died.
Then those not up there stand for the ones alive.

The sky rains down from heaven.

Casting it's rogues from paradise.
Sending them down in fire, in space they sputter and they die.

Life is a fire.

The sort of one that burns out.
The sort of one that in the emptiness, wastes away without a sound.
Like some sort of fuel thats burned down.

The seas swallow the pieces the heavens cast away.

Like beasts that always hunger...
For the valued things that people give away.

In the darkness all things end.

The moon grins like a joker in the night.

Knowing secrets kept from people...
That if told would end their lives.

All things age and break apart...
So ends your mind, your body, and your heart.

And as your spirit drifts away...
It either burns out...
Or up there it shall stay...
All life burns away.

DNB
(This one had a broken rythm...oh well.)

Another good one. Not everything has to have a certain rhythm to be good. Keep up the great writing.
