*ahem* Uh... those pizzas weren't poisoned, were they? *looks around, sees no judges* WHERE DID THEY GO??!

I know... they had so many fantastic entries that they couldn't decide, and so decided to quietly let this thread die...

I'm afraid I can't let that happen.

*calls in a favor to FBI contact* Hello, Agent Mulder? Remember that favor you owe me? Yeah... I need you to track down Anison Twilight. Last seen nine days ago... I think he may have been abducted by aliens. Thanks, man. *hangs up and sits down to wait*

Wow, they announced the winners!!! Congratulations Zilch, Eirewolf and Siren of Lyrics! ^__^ And, congratulations to Emanku, Yeito and Ice too! ^___^

I enjoyed reading all your poems.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.
