RESULTS:
1st place: Patric, [Half-Mad Poet] - "Ebon Sky"

"Strewn across the ebon sky,
Gems of glittergold,
A shine in beauty, a shine in light,
Life's essence they hold.

"The silver sphere hangs above,
Azure waters still,
Amulet of love and power,
Divine its holy will.

"Ebon thread weaves it all,
Together, yet apart,
In awe we mortals stare
At nature's loving art."
