Patience

 

shards of darkness, shattered

in the sun’s blushing whisper

crashing helplessly below

spilling shadows release

while sowing seeds of night

that hide inside themselves

patiently awaiting their prosper

shuffling through sunlight’s dance

to be born into legion once again

in the joyous death of day

Wow this is quite dark and boding l. I see demons sporting like wheat saying we are legion waiting to be cast out by the new day and the resurrection... always cleverly constructed and well placed verse! Very affecting!

Some striking wordplay blazes

Some striking wordplay blazes throughout this metaphorical perspective on hope and patience. There's an enthralling and radiant unfolding as "shards of darkness" dissipate into "sunlight’s dance"; then the cycle begins again on a note of blissful renewal.

 

And such an outstanding finale you created in that last line! Loving every moment of this.
