Night Trek

I walk in the darkness of moon’s shadow Neath the dark stars of night’s sky A path traveled mostly by day Now traversed by the black of night Each step, a step in the dark Wishing for a lighted way Hoping not to have lost the way Fumbling through the black shadows Feeling the coldness of the dark No illumination from the sky Nothing but the dark of night Wishing for the light of day Oh but for the sun of day With the light showing my way Drive back the dark of night Push back the cloak of shadows Burn away the black of sky End the reign of the dark Only sun may end this dark The light for beginning of day Change black to blue of sky That I may find my way Chase back the dark shadows Brought out by the night Let the day end this night Light now my path of dark Shove back the night shadows Turn this night into day So I can find again my way Let the sun rise into the sky Turn the black into blue sky End this dark and blind of night That I may be on my way Instead of lost in this dark Hoping for light of day Scared of night’s shadows I fear the shadows of the night Of this black sky so very dark Till the day then I know my way

Thank you Lyric Man, this is the only Sestina I've written as the scheme and meter are tough to blend and make sense. Greatly appreciate your time and comment.
