The Lantern Runs Low

and I hope it soon will go
dark
so that our eyes might see
stars
trees
the edges of the waves dipping up into the breeze

And everything else that fades in the man-made light
of technological lies

Please
don't go
just because you don't have that sallow glow
No.

Please stay with me
Stay and be
something

the right to my left
the left to my right

Either or

Just be by my side tonight
I'm not afraid of the dark

But I'll say I am
If it will make you stay

Author notes

I ended up not needing a scary poem, so I took whatever inspiration came for this one.

Respect is asked for, given and understood... :)

    Demington, this is beautiful. All your work is beautiful, but - I don't know. I guess I love it so because it's so fitting for me, especially now.
    You've inspired tears in me once again. Thank you, Demington. You have no idea how much I needed this.
