OctPoWriMo 28 - For the Light

Today's prompt is hunger. I'm putting together a book of poems about vampires and other creatures of the night, so that's been on my mind.

For the Light

Now I hunger for the light;As darkness gathers all around meHere I stand in deepest night.
Once, this all was my delight;Once, I thought that I was free.Now I hunger for the light.
I remember day so brightI sheltered ‘neath the rowan tree.Now, here I stand in deepest night.
Sky of blue and clouds of whiteNevermore my eyes shall see;And now I hunger for the light.
Only shadows in my sightAnd the moon glows oh so faintlyWhile here I stand in deepest night.
I chose the night, became the fright;Before me all shall flee...And yet, I hunger for the lightAs here I stand in deepest night.
