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

Thavien's Token: "Orignally commented on Heather Hubler's "winds of change."

    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.

    This is powerful, Thavien. It feels pointed rather than general. I like it.
