Come one, come all
To the masquerade ball
For a night of merriment
To be had by all
The ball poses a picturesque scene,
With porcelain masks and swaying dresses
And painted smiles with china doll eyes,
Laughter escaping their pearly white teeth
Over sips of flowing red wine.
All attendees dance harmoniously in unison,
Creating quite a spectacle to observe,
With wailing music that inflames the passions,
Against the backdrop of a stunning glass palace.
The glass serves faithfully as a mirror,
Reflecting the scene in its entirety,
And allowing the seeker to observe
Their unmatched kingly and queenly beauty,
Enhanced by the magnetism of the magnificent mask,
So that the world may stand aghast in awe.
Cologne and perfume coalesce in the air,
Avarice gleaming in starry eyes,
And bills drip from pockets and mouths,
Golden coins spinning on the ivory floor,
As stains of red wine appear on suits and dresses
Wholly composed of a luscious green fiber.
The night concludes with cheerful partings,
The music coming to its royal consummation,
And the wine having taken its seductive toll;
Dawn peeps in through the palace windows
And so, the grand ball has succumbed to the morn,
While the masks are placed gently on nightstands.

Suffering
If one denies suffering, i.e., a greater purpose for suffering, he removes one weightthe lighter weight of the suffering itselfand in turn places the heavier burden of nothingness upon himself. All life tends towards death, nothingness.
And the cousins of these feelings of nothingness are skepticism, bitterness, and despair.
The one who subscribes to nothingness may not be a skeptic, bitter, or in despair, but the problem of suffering forces that one to become as such. This is because if all of life ends with a final breath, then everything between that first and last breath is judged by how happy we are. Sufferingdeep, so

Reclaimed
"Did I not promise you that you would see God's glory?"
He almost looked hurt. His eyes, still glistening with tears, shone like a live coal fresh from the flames.
She gaped, awed into silence. Something within her started to burn as she saw Him turn towards the tomb.
"Roll away the stone," He repeated.
For a minute, no one had moved. She had rushed towards him, thinking He had wanted to see his body, saying, "Lord, please, don't

Now they just stood there. A tight feeling passed over the crowd, waves of cold mixed with tinges of warmth. No one dared shatter the feelingwho knew what would break loose?

A sense of hopelessness
He laid me in this bed, feeling like music in my head,
He whispered soft, luring words into my ears.
Hypnotizing me with his seductive touch,
I feared him more than anyone, anything.
But I was helpless, to stop him, weakened by his strength.
Regret held me silent to my shame,
As I learned of his child's claim.
I refused to bear such an evil thing,
To have his life growing inside me,
I feared seeing his face in everything I'd do.
In the life living within me.
I made a choice, went to the clinic,
Signed some papers, gave out my name.
Laid on the cold table, as I watched the women come and go.
I wrapped my hands protectively over
