Eerie mystery of the night's unknown, Now shown as strength unites, Strived against diminished lights, The cyhyraeth moans their plights.

Thank you for your kind comments on my entry, I will return the same compliment it sticks to the rules has flow, makes sense, and is still beautiful, though I had to look up cyhyraeth. A huge congrats

Speaks Volumes, congratulations on your third-place win in my Straight One-Rhymed Englyn poetry contest! It was brilliant to choose a figure from Welsh folklore as the subject of your poem.
