Literature Text

The day is done; the world is cold.
A lonely heart is an atoll
that may surrender to the night

to drift weightless among the shoals
when anguish takes its cruel toll
and sighs, "Surrender to the night".

What song may mend a broken soul?
What hymn may contrive to console
to not surrender to the night?

And yet, the stars will still unroll
and diamonds form inside of coal;
they won't surrender to the night.

Compassion may as yet cajole
the broken bits to be made whole.
Do not surrender to the night!
ProjectDFC Day 8: Go Vat.  A Thai form of tercets containing eight syllables per line and an aaB rhyme scheme, with B being a refrain.

I can only hope the soul remembers to never surrender to the night. :(
