I was going through some old files, looking for something completely
different, when I stumbled across a poem I wrote many years ago. I think I
was about 13 or so at the time, so it was before I really got into
conlanging. It's the sort of thing I really should translate into one of my
conlangs, but none of them seem just right for it. If anyone else wants to
give it a try, please do so.
Shadow and Dawn
What thoughts have all the darkest hours seen
that strode across the mind upon the green?
When those that lay awake are lost at night,
the world goes to gloom removed from sight.
Yet from the shadows comes a gloried light,
the shadows cast on masses held in fright.
Their sorrows soon disperse in morning sun.
The siege hath gone, the dawn hath now begun.
