Above the Clouds

I rise above the clouds into a world once so bright where now the shadows fall and a thousand voices call From atop my place above the clouds while the voices cry aloud I concentrate on the final spark as all the world fades to dark night has fallen but not all is lost the small light begins to glow as the green earth turns to frost its radiance begins to show I cast my voice throughout the sky so all may hear me down below as the echoes start to die the spark begins to grow I ask them to not give up the fight for soon the dark shall turn to light I ask for them to banish fear as the dawn shall soon be here down below i feel a shift a great and evil change they would not stand a chance against its dark and burning rage there was no time, i had to choose between my life or the light with no time to lose and no small amount of fright I step below the clouds into a world as dark as night where all the shadows fall and a thousand voices call I stand before the evil beast the spark within my hand i tell it to leave this place and in fact, this i demand It looks at me with eyes of hate and a hunger yet to sate I look right back and then i smile as i surrender to my fate I hold the spark in front of me so that all can clearly see what can become of night when into it you unleash the light fueled by a willing life the beast it did not stand a chance against the radiant wave's advance all the shadows burned away from the light, as bright as day and with the passing of the day my light and life then fade away but the world remained renewed and rebuilding then ensued I rise above the clouds into a world now set to right where now the daylight falls with a thousand joyous calls
