Starlit Fate

By: Florence Mwanza

A starlit blue

a midnight haze

a striking break

of our mistakes

a choking flood

distorted noise

the lies you told

come now, unfold

we teach, we hear

we loathe, we fear

but in it all

you caused the fall

a medley of tune

a passage of song

rise now, dear sun

you will lead us on

a starlit blue

a midnight haze

if I shall fail

I fall to fate

love,

flora
