Oh glowing new day
Awake us we pray
With cheer.
The last ran away--
Return and allay
Our fear.
For night's dark dismay
We cannot convey;
Not here.
Oh sun, you survey
New life, and decay
Severe.
In hope led astray
Come quick while you may
Adhere.
New morning, you weigh
Much less than the gray
So near.

DFC day ten. The lai. I remembered from last year's DFC that I didn't like this one so much. I like the outcome a little better this year. Though sticking with nature is a cliche I struggle to break from when I'm uninspired. kiwi-damnation.deviantart.com/…
