For contest

I feel so bold I have a firefly’s heart Black wind blows drowning the stars Demons dance leaving faithless scarred Do you have a chance rainbow in the dark I hear a song from long ago Before I was a sparkle in eye Melody that brings you close Even before you live or die How can it be He calls me Despite the devil’s plan Just a soldier in these streets And it’s time to dance I’m not into black magic I’ve never as well been a saint Life sometimes wreaks havoc Causing terrible pain Demons try to get your mind You feel some kind of way Darkness comes making blind And you need to be saved I feel so bold I have a firefly’s heart Black wind blows drowning the stars Demons dance leaving faithless scarred Do you have a chance rainbow in the dark

Rainbow in the dark; put me in the mind of the northern lights which I hear wondered south recently. But this piece has that flavor of imagination that take you there.

I enjoy your poem and the innovation of the first and last stanzas repeating. Good luck with the contest. This is a scrumptious write.
