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.
