See No Evil

Crepuscular darkness coats the viridescent blades with icy black frost Yet another exuberant day finds slumber at the behest of a sonorous lullaby The hour of opulent candlelight has finally been crossed And pursuit of halcyon dreams continue even as penumbra is nigh If not for the jealousy of the fresh morning sun we might better realize The visceral strength of the candle in this fight As we maintain our promise to ignore the evil in sight Guiding us through our shadowy moments to deceive a cynical fate Only when dawn breaks does the candle grow desultory and we lose all its light Do we appreciate the sentiment that perhaps a new day can wait January 27, 2016
