Song for a soul

More strange than any page of fiction
Deeper and more raw than all the words
of Sophocles, Shakespeare or Stoppard
More beautiful and out of reach than Saturn
More searing than a razor's cut through fingertips
Reaching through the flesh to touch upon my soul
it breaks my heart
Opens up my eyes and keens my nerves
It has no name, no face
It simply is

Blah, blah, blah, more bollocks.

Happy New Year!

Really nice, Parson (as always). I love the series of comparatives building the tension and energy of the piece.

Oh - two 'than's in line 2.

Thanks for reading. I am grateful for your time.

;-) Thanks Jasper. What could be better than one "than" other than two "thans". More than enough. :-) Thanks for your support Jasper. Seriously very nice of you. Always amazed and grateful.
