A Dark Heart

Vortice violet.

A shoddy glow of dull light on shadow.

Shine might on ebon canvas.

Dark strikes with heaven's lancet.

Ray by ray day by day grotto, 

With thoughts brooded in effluvium.

Contemplating why darkness has been made synonymous with evil.

Yet it's nocturne shrouds and lays safe passage for those oppressed by the light of our current day.

Granting slumber before reawakening; in the glare of expanding and unknown chromas.
