This poem seems to present the struggle between darkness and light. There is a certain epic undertone to it and yet it also retains a degree of the whimsical.
Following several read-throughs I have not been able to turn out a comment eloquent enough to do it justice - and so this one will have to do. ^_~
Nicely done.
Thanks for the comment, @pathforger, regardless of its length!
I'm glad you've noticed the struggle between darkness and light, and I sure didn't think it was a whimsical poem, but if you think so - I'll take it!
Have an awesome day, and keep reading!
