Wow...for some reason this gives me a feeling of serenity and suspense all at the same nice. Very well done for such a short piece. I'll post a longer critique tomorrow when my internet isn't being wiggy.

Great short section. I like them short, then I can usually have time to read them. ^_^

I want to say, boy every one is so upset that they're not getting comments and critiques. Sometimes, you just have to keep writing. People don't always have time to read everything here.

I used to write a lot more, but I don't anymore. I don't have time to post and then keep up with this stuff. Plus, my real writing, my real publishable stuff takes more time these days, so I don't come on CAA that much.

After all that, just be happy to write. I have a thread somewhere around here about Why I Write. I do it because I love to; I honestly love to write. Sometimes you just have to keep writing, if nothing else you'll definitely get better.

[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.

The engines of the C-130 roared inside the cargo bay. Overhead, [no comma. Try reading this sentence out loud with the comma, it sounds halty and awkward] a row of lights. [fragment. Consider something like "Overhead there was a row of lights] The red shined [shone] brightly. No one said a word. [; maybe try a semi colon here instead of a period.] Silence seemed to overtake every soldier as he waited.
