    leaves fall heavy
    with the burdens of my soul
    land on the cold grave

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.

    The foaming waves roll,
    in anger and agony;
    Frustrated, forlorn.

    wave's tragic turmoil
    pushed toward fate by reckless wind
    cast adrift in life

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    this is 3 People, so it ends with the last line (3rd line) and it doesn't go into the new one. The next person starts a new line...
