Daylight Dies by Hiriako

Merit for February 2012

Winter Comes
Frostbit eve besot; madness' whisper beckons
Peaceful night is sought; dread chill, nature's reckon
Call of the Moon forever heard, Albion's Mark
Sunlight gazes over snowkiss'd land, Winter's gift
Mother's call fading; I sleep 'til daylight dies

Shadows Rise
Awoke unbidden; Selene's convocation
Gelid wind ridden; bright gleam invitation?
Three assemble on rimecrust plain, Hope offered
Conclave shatters along Moonlit drafts, carried home
Night's gaze slumbering; I sleep 'til daylight dies

Moonlight Shines
Path sought, steps reveal'd; harrowed o'er frigid trail
Dusk's fade, naught concealed; silver glow, all else pale
Luminescent aura envelops, Luna's warmth
Shadows flee 'fore each step taken, blessed of Moon
Moon's fire quenching; I sleep 'til daylight dies

Daylight Dreams
Blissful morn' creates; peaceful dreamer resting
Nascent thoughts within; drifting toward harmony
Trinity's ward surrounds each fantasy, sealing
Thoughts now freed, resplendent wonder forever gifted
Lunacy protecting; I sleep 'til daylight dies

Daylight Dies
I sleep no more; I dream
