Wow, very chilling this prose. I enjoyed the imagery you have in here - very vivid. Great job here! :)

I am going to have to offer some constructive criticism on this piece.
Re-read this and work on grammar. The first paragraph is very hard to follow and I have to read it with corrections to get an understanding of what you are saying - ex: moral should be morale and "for such affinity to grief strikes all beings in awe" Ok some how I lost half my post, let's try this again... Grief is a noun, not a verb, and to grieve strikes.. doesn't make sense, I think it is the double verb combo represented, or the word (to).
I get a vision of wintry despair in this, even tho' I love the winter and those dark, heavy skies.
If you choose to rewrite this, I'd love to read it again.
Oh and one more thing, this line here:
"I'm falling, you're falling, they're falling, we're falling and failing to yield through" :)
Happy Writing, ~Poe

thanks alot for the words, I really understand and appreciate your input but what I meant there was that the very "affinity to (or 'for') grief" is the one "striking" all beings in awe... anyway, I know it's messed up here and there I'll go over it again, soon thanks, and sorry for the late reply
