Because it’s probably very dark out right now for most of the participants, the prompt for this hour is to write a poem involving light of any kind, from the sun, to a lamp to a candle.
(from the hour #20 prompt)
Darkness
By Sandy Lender, attributing it to Nigel Taiman in my world of Onweald
When I awoke today the suns didn’t rise
Darkness clouded every valley
I had only to pick one to fall into
When I awoke today your end was still real
Dezurine wept for our souls together
And the army of Arcana dispersed
In despair
Your quest may be mine now
And I’ll do what you’ve asked of me
Because I love you like the suns that will never rise again
And I love you like the valley clothed in darkness
Yet I grieve with the anguish of The Dragon
I could fill another river with my tears
And dip you ’neath its rapids to heal you
If it means the suns will somehow rise again
Lighting the valley left around us
So I can see when you return to me
