Dark Guardian

This took about three hours to emerge fully, the first two stanzas appeared before midnight but the final one didn't appear till nearly 02:00 ~ I work best in the early hours.
This poem could be considered as part of the "Dream" sequence with a hint of "Map" in there too.





Dark Guardian  -  10 May 13


Dark
Encompassing enveloping
Protecting
The stars have not seen
Beauty in the cloak
Of midnight dreams

Guardian of the Mysts
The shades in which
Strange things walk
Defenders of the dream
In the warm dark
Womb of night

And in those midnight hours
The dark shall sing
A gentle lullaby
To guide us
Into a starless
Dream

Once again I thank Muse for suggesting these ideas.

Before anyone comments, I had no idea that the Dark Guardian was a character from a comic book ~ I just felt that the name was rather interesting.
