Ginger hair, dressed in black

Darkness, drawn to light

She stands in silence, gazing

At the rays, that grace the night

Chancing they are moonbeams

She ventures, closer still

The night air, warm as summer

Yet, she could feel its chill

She waits, so impatiently

For a sign, to tell her why

The sunlight replaces darkness

She fears, the moon has lost the sky

Daydreaming, in a lighthearted way
Staring off in the distance, she sighs

Light in the forest, behind her
Daybreak, again, on the rise

Elfin magic begins its descent
She waits for it to draw near

Dancing about, sunbeams shine
This is her favorite time of the year

For the world around, grows brighter
As the darkness quickly fades away

Nature begins her spring rebirth
And the elves rejoice, on this day

Waves churned and water crashed

A rowboat, on the ocean, thrashed

Skies were calmer, to the east

But to the west, there hailed a beast

Clouds of black had filled the sky

No chance for those aboard to try

To make it to land, safely ashore

Seems the boat, could take no more

Winds attacked, from every angle

In the storm, the timbers mangled

Caught, upon the choppy seas

The ocean tossed it, as it pleased

All that remained, was a beacon of light

That shined, ever brightly, into the night

No Longer in the Dark ~ #writephoto

Sue has graced us with another fabulous photo!  The subject this week is “Dark“.


Twilight begins, as clouds fill with the last light of day, shining through darkening skies. Crepuscular rays gleam, casting shadows on the colorless mountains below. I blink, hoping to find the colors I remembered just moments ago, only to find gray. It’s that gray that dims everything it touches. But I look beyond the dull and dreary, and my soul sighs, contented. I have found that glimmer of light, shining down on me, no longer kept hidden in the dark.

When light begins to shine

And darkened skies diminish

I find you still, fast asleep

Thoughts and dreams unfinished

A subtle smile upon your face

To tell me you’re all right

With what awaits once you awake

From slumber’s gentle night
