Purpose
When the day holds no meaning, and life has no purpose.

Raw emotions underscoring multiple layers of meaning through familiar mythical imagery. The brokenness is nearly palpable, especially in contrast to the swollen indifference of the fused corruption and purity. Great as a stand alone piece, or would work within the context of a larger work as well. Well done.
