"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a Clod be washed away by the Sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a Promontory were, as well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee." - John Donne

What a Difference a Day Makes
With terror and perfect peace waging war in his mind
He enters the chasm of despair
To the joy of those who put him there.
As the stone covers the entrance The last rays of light
Glimmer into the eyes of ravening death
And hope, precious hope, holds its breath.
Then absolute darkness is pierced by power that knows no bounds
And puzzled death is left to hunger
Empty, angry, powerless, in wonder
And when the stone is rolled away, and earth's light returns
Hope, substantial now, iron-strong
Is Faith, and lifts its mighty song
Oh King, live forever!

So uplifting! You really captured the beauty and strength of hope. The pictures also added great depth.
Beautiful piece, your imagery really enhances the words, and in return, your descriptors so enhance the photos. Well done.
