UNDER CONSTRUCTION...

To Dragon: ... "I think the darkest magic looms at noon, sucking all the joy out of life. It thrives not in dark corners of day nor night, but within the place where the heart no longer abides. And worse... there it no longer hides... but roams abroad."

Darkest magic looms at noon, 7
sucking goodness out of life. 7
It survives, or better, thrives 7
not in dark corners of day nor night, 8
but within that darksome space 7
where the heart no longer abides. 8
And worse — there it no longer hides, 8
but roams abroad." 4

Darkest magic looms at noon, 7
sucking goodness out of life, 7
surviving in dark corners, 7
each day and night; 4
thrives within that darksome space 7
where hearts can no longer bide. 7
And worse — it roams abroad, 7
no longer hides. 4

Be the light

Darkest magic looms at noon,
sucking goodness out of life,
surviving in dark corners
all day and night,
thrives within that darksome space
where soft-hearts no longer bide.
And worse — it roams abroad,
no longer hides.
