Midnight Sun

Done as a writing challenge..."Write a poem based on this picture."

I stand beside a lonesome pine at night.
About me sounds of darkness huddle close.
I tremble at each chirp that gives me fright.

In this black lonely place I'm e'vr alone.
I kneel before an altar of the dark.
I seem a child who'll never be full-grown.

Kneeling and praying, in dark winter's blight
I bare my soul and stand in darkness stark
The sun rides high but gives the world no light.

I stand beside a lonesome pine at night.
The sun rides high but gives the world no light.

This is good. It describes the picture well.
