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.

I really liked this theme and how you brought it to unexpected fruition in the last stanza!
melodies play on
nonetheless, so there will
be light in darkest night.
