the land was quiet once
the light of the stars were cold as iron
still life persisted
madmen start to believe in hope again
they claw desperately at dark earth
digging up seeds of chaos
while their bodies succumb to time
their souls do not stray from the path
they have found purpose
and refuse to yield their legacy
filling the world with beauty and uncertainty
time has begun
now we race it to the end
a life of curiosity and risk
always fleeing the freezing nights of before
the quiet is too cruel

I want nothing more than to dedicate my life to writing, so I figured I would start here to test the waters. I will be submitting stories to as many communities as possible.
Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.

A life of curiosity and risk. So much truth in that line. Loved your poem!
