NaPoWriMo: 2 April

It’s the start of National Poetry Writing Month. Here’s my first poem

Left behind, the light that was.
Before us night, in warmth’s embrace.
No soothing hand to cool our brow,
No cooing whisper to still our sorrows,
Yet in that night lie wistful wraiths
Seeking light they will not find.
Let not the dreams of prophets stir
your slumbers peace though storms erupt.
In solace whole will self be true
And lead to sleep through cosmos’ ages
If in some far and distant visage, 
You should wake to walk in light
Remember night’s blissful kiss
Fear not the light, for it will pass.
