darkest night

inside each melody --

fragrant spark

playing round us

incandesces everything

at once

on light beams, songs

for their own pleasure play

desideratum's designedly

desiring desist of

insanity's mare of night

melodies play on

nonetheless, so there will

be light in darkest night.
