Verdict Uncovered You break when they touch you with cold icy fingers, There is no boundary, the dark shadow lingers. Your spirit is in pieces, beyond repair, For there's no one to heal you, that someone is rare. Your anguish is wrenching so reach out and confide, The demons that live on just corrupt and misguide.

Battle of the Elements A planet is emerging alive and young, The battle of elements has just begun. Molten rock ablaze with ascending magma, A fountain of fire from a burning chamber. Another day, a glimpse of dawn, An interstellar sun is born. Underground waters stirring up debris, Over ground turbulence forming the sea. Ga... More..
