## Barely two days have passed since we began our contest and the steemians haven't disappointed! It is incredible what people pulled from either the poem, the image, or both!

<center>**Quiet contemplation
in humanities surround
screeching silence upward rising
with the falling of the ground**

**Cold and reverberating shivers
sweat and icy palms 
chills from spine to chest 
beating hearts 
no calm**

**Stepping forward half and quarter paces 
for every backwards glance
sideways weaving structures
visions blur and dance**

**Clicking clacking ticking sounds
from around each winding bend
omnious guiding siren songs
lull you to your end**</center>
