Into the Night

by  • 

Into the Night

Light from the dark star
flickering and fading
in the black sky
Her heart heavy from
the news of the drowned
and the saved
Pushing forward
intent on facing
her nemesis
Following the flame
into the night

Bjorn is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight
and has prompted us to find Poems in our
bookshelves
My poem is based on the four books

    Following that flame is sometimes needed… just hope there is daylight on the other side of night

    “Pushing forward
    intent on facing
    her nemesis”
    I am inspired by these lines.

    Does she want them to stop fighting?

      No she’s not fighting but she must face her nemesis, wherever she’s going! 😊👍
