Tas’s Song of Courage

Even the night must fail

For light sleeps in the eyes

And dark becomes dark on dark

Until the darkness dies.

Soon the eye resolves

Complexities of night

Into stillness, where the heart

Falls into fabled light.

Dark Queen’s Reply

Even the night must fail

When light sleeps in the eyes,

When dark becomes dark on dark

And into darkness dies.

Soon the eye dissolves,

Perplexed by the teasing night,

Into a stillness of the heart,

A fable of fallen light.
