Daylight mourning (by Kathryn-Ann Nourse)

Dark night, too little light this child can't see or feel a thing.
Pools of black in shades of grey, nothing keeps her fears at bay.
Away, away she cries and wishes herself to flee, to move her feet. No crimson morn or azure day to reassure a life in mourning of the day she was born. For darkness pools about her feet, and in her eyes no rest, no energy.

Hard stone and a breaking fall into depth she's never been before.
Oozing black upon shades of grey, down down to the ground.
Darkness outside and now it surrounds and swallows her in.
