Listen to poem:

Night Light

Night Light
David J Walker

My home is where there 
Is no night
	My home is
Where the sun is lit

 A seat where only 
	I may sit

But never any light

My home becomes 
	A starship
That never takes to flight

My home is in 
a tortoise shell
	Protected from 
A pending hell

Penance for 
nocturnal slight

My home is where there 
Is no night
