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."

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

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.
