Lighting the Darkness

Drawn to day's sunlight Behemoth reaches higher Shading his neighbor Light plumbs the depths of darkness Sending prisms of sparkles

wow, yours is outstanding here. One more question, Joyce. What were you mentioning about -ing rhymes? I like to use those and was thinking, do you have something against them?
