Blinding Light

Hey all! I’m back with my first sparrowlet. Enjoy!

‘Midst darkness radical,a light
Incinerates the immoral,
Hunts prowling predators disguised,
Villainous creatures infernal,
Battling those by evil,driven,
A light ‘midst darkness radical.

‘Midst darkness tart,a blinding light
Glows within every single heart
In which undying good resides,
Even a fragment would impart
Power with which shall dazzle bright,
A blinding light,’midst darkness tart .
