villanelle from Red Winter by Hannah Norris & the Band

my soul holds tightly to the night
stilled and calmed in the midnight dark
come morning I will shun the light

though lightning interrupts my sight
it will not leave its ghostly marks
my soul holds tightly to the night

I cannot mourn at the lost fight
but wander at the destined arc
come morning I will shun the light

please keep me close and hold me tight
stars flash and shine like fire sparks
my soul holds tightly to the night

and you knows just what is right
will watch the sun and the meadowlarks
come morning I will shun the light

you will hold me to what is right
but I was made just for the dark
my soul holds tightly to the night
come morning I will shun the light
