Bring On the Night

Bring On the Night

A Poem by Marlena

She dances for peace, in the amber light

All sunset long, bringing on the night

Her body a dark silhouette against rose sky

Long breaths drawn out until the sun rises high

 

She’s what they call when angels need protecting

Tear drops like you and silver moons reflecting

She’s war-torn and strong, she can’t ever give in

She has a light that never goes out, where stars begin

 

A beautiful face but eyes that transpire

To cold angry pain and dark burning fire

When she raises her fist, her sword in the air

She screams for the lost and voices despair

 

She’s darkness and pure and light all the same

Her enemies cower, remember the name

She’ll ease away fears and for the hopeless she’ll fight

Because she dances in sunset, so bring on the night.

Beautiful! I think we can all aspire to this vision, to protect the hopeless, to dance for peace.

You are so talented. One thing I have never been able to master is the ability to rhyme and make it sound so smooth. The art of rhyming poems is so hard to accomplish - and you do it with such ease. I love this poem, it shows emotion and has great flow. Amazing.

Whoever 'she' is, she is perfect... I get to read a lot of beautiful work, and this one right here is among them... From the color and the font you chose, to the format, to the very words and the ignition of the idea in our mind's eye... Everything about this poem exudes Glory and the Supreme Love.

Awesome work, Aveira.
