Darkness Chaser
By: Akkiko
People used to say she was a darkness chaser.
They said she was a sunlight weaver.
She would make a cape of light
as she scuttled in her darkness.
Her light would twinkle at everyone.
It would from the very ground sleeping plants call.
She was searching; it was said, for her life.
It was said that her light was taken one night.
She scuttles even now, cape tight around her.
It is a cape of light, not any kind of cloth.
People would reach out to her to draw her to the crowds.
But she would tremble at the mere mention.
To a few she opened her dark mind,
But they would soon run to light.
Do you see her run?
Do you hear her cry?
She is chasing the darkness.
Her only protection is her cape of light.
She is chasing what the darkness has.
She wants her life once again.
But she has a cape of light.
How can she ever catch the dark when she is clothed in light?
