The light of day was waning
my heart was feeling cold
with the darkness gaining
loves story still untold
Lest I be caught in twilight
forever and a day
I must find ways to requite
the light that goes astray
So hungry is the corner dark
that does not get the beam
It yearns to see at least a spark
but sun witholds it's gleam
Then dark descends to cover all
light hasn't got a chance
til at some point the two must meet
to do a mating dance
When dance is over comes the fight
will stygian have its way
or will the force field of the light
be strong enough to sway
soon time comes to illuminate
it appears clear and bright
yet still in corners adumbrate
a shadow of the night
Just when we think night has its way
Alas, the light has its day
etw
Peace, love and light,
Amber
GOD BLESS YOU

"yet still in corners adumbrate

Loved this very necessary two lines to this poem. Had to look up adumbrate. Like that word.
