Magicking

Light vanishes as,

Velvety darkness descends,

Unaccompanied,

An array of stars take guard,

Radiant on new moon night,

On those days of pale,

Tenebrous* phenomena,

Crystal ball shines dim,

Trickle of light magnifies,

Magicking self to magical cosmos.

Tenebrous * :- Dark, shadowy.

Poetry Form :- Double Tanka (Two sets of 5/7/5/7/7 syllables.)

Thoughts :- When a carpet of darkness descends, in some corner there is a light awaiting to shine. That light is us.
