You had me with the title of this poem. I read this poem through, and then read it again line by line. It is haunting, and reveals truths we so often don't talk about in daily life; truths we simply ignore and move in without seeing, without wanting to see. But once you realize, it is a world where darkness is eating away, is starving to death, the light. You seemed to write of war and death particularly in the imagery of less modern times, but it also feels very much applicable to now. |

Thanks for the feedback. I do have a habit of writing in kind of an old timey way. But I agree the main ideas are very applicable to modern times. This one was kind of a last battle scenario. I'm a big epic fantasy fan so I tend to impose that on my writing. |

Thanks for the comment. I definitely didn't intend this to be religious or about Jesus in any way, more of a fantasy world last battle-ish thing but that's an interesting take on it. I'll check yours out, thank you. |
