Vanguard

The dark attacks

Like music or tumours

Shedding the definite of light,

The very essence of it.

 

Only the lonely

Deserve the service

Of certain thoughts.

But a sudden

Cruel mood moves in.

The singularity where

 

No thought escapes

But one which lasts for seconds.

Always a mind-bender, aren't you, Kealan? Since I would have loved this titled 'The dark attacks', would you enlarge on your reasoning for 'Vanguard' which is very good. I'm presuming 'dark' can go anywhere in meaning. And how long is a 'thought'; I've often wondered myself.

Excellent, Kealan. One of the best of yours I've seen for a while. Particularly like the conclusion here.
