the sunlight fight

+ the sunlight fight +
Scarlett banners of dawn
Forces of the Light
Invading this sky of night
Putting to sword darkness
Everywhere a column goes
Mobilisation of sunlight
Clouds are crested purple
Flicker through shades till find
Own true colour not reflected glow
Of dawn's warring shades
Night withdraws hurriedly
A retreat across whole sky
And Sun shines down victorious
Such hubris needs a fall
When dusk comes round again
And night triumphant rise.
