What The Darkness Proposes

The lights went out

and the power went down

but the energy only increased

As long~dormant dreamers

in mystical madness

became children of nighttime released

In silent seduction

they cast off the confines

of whatever they'd been told to do

Filled with the thrall

and the wonder that waits

living fantasies somehow more true

As starlight collides

in the frenzy of freedom

that sleeps in the deadness of dawn

The pointless pursuits

Wasted drowning in day

Forgotten as Nox rights all wrongs
