Lucida

 

Lucida, my dear Lucida!

How dim you seem

Above these nascent orbs.

 

My candle flickers in the night

But I remember, yes I remember

Stars more than a mind can count.

 

Night is no more, this eternal twilight

Mocks the day and defrocks the night

Your insecurity light sickens me, but I must be patient.
