Refusal

I embrace the dark as my own Where shadows pale and absent light Threads of time never sewn Like the sun to never meet but a single night And travelers grow but weary Drifters sought for homes to stay Evermore to never be constantly Have I not yearn but a single day? Out of phase, out of place Everywhere is but nowhere all at once Illusions and dreams, never again to chase Have I a light from darkness to be given chance? Allow me to refuse for a moment’s pause If all shall disregard in kind It is but treasured because its lost That of missing, perhaps anew shall promise find From light... was darkness my own? Shadows but all eluding from sight Time found, never promised home And I see the sun absent shadowy night
