Cleansing Grime From Ashes
"You can't hide what's in grime."
Eternal shall the truth rain
Cleansing all of hidden wrongdoings
Lifting the grimey dirt from our skin
Improving our morals as it improves our appearance
Powerfully so yet
Some will smear dirt and stain themselves and others covering
Etched scars that they've purposefully made; forgotten and all too fresh

An Adventure Through Hell
Emaciated arms covered by the tiniest bit of flesh capture me, holding me close to its decaying form. Gnarled and thin fingers pull my dark hair. Screams of anguish surround me, somehow reverberating from the empty chasm. I punch and watch as bits of grey flesh disintegrate into dust. Scratching at the caverns where its eyes should have been, I could only hope for an end to this hell. The sounds of torment continued, assaulting my ears with one tremendous roar.

A great stand alone piece and excellent companion to Heather’s! The last line was such a powerful close
Absolutely fantastic!!! Fabulous line, "Cleansing all of hidden wrongdoings"
Whoaaaa, this was so profound and powerful!
beautiful!!!
PHENOMENAL work!
Oooooo I really like the flow of this one. I've been reading so many challenge entries, and this one really stands out. You weave in multiple symbolisms and metaphors and it all comes together in a neat package. From the concept of the eclipse to grime, morals, and the scars of one's past.
Your message is strong!
This is powerful, Thavien. It feels pointed rather than general. I like it.
