I walked out into the nothingness, Lamp lit, with a little lively flame. Darkness decided to swallow us. I fueled the lantern, to feed the light. But as it burned brighter, darkness grew hungrier. There was an acceptance, to let it be. I knew that this was the time of darkness. Extinguishing my flame, I waited for dawn. I waited and waited, for the midnight black, To churn into that dark purple hue, Kindling further into the volatile morning vibrancy. Such a time never came, as I said These were Dark Times. The Land of Light could not, would not Interlope here, and such a thing was fine.

The Light Flickers in the Time of Darkness
I walked out into the nothingness, Lamp lit, with a little lively flame. Darkness decided to swallow us. I fueled the lantern, to feed the light. But as it burned brighter, darkness grew hungrier. There was an acceptance, to let it be. I knew that this was the time of darkness. Extinguishing my flame, I waited for dawn. I waited and waited, for the midnight black, To churn into that dark purple hue, Kindling further into the volatile morning vibrancy. Such a time never came, as I said These were Dark Times. The Land of Light could not, would not Interlope here, and such a thing was fine.
