A Captured Light

Ever on I walked the gloomy streets of the city at night
Always ready with a staff in hand, ready for a fight
Because the streets are dangerous, especially tonight
As I walked on into the dreaded dark, I clutched my staff, sweating in fright
Every time I walked through this dismal place, something happened to renew my fear
But I have something secret that protects me, something that I hold very dear
Something I know no one else in the world possesses
Something that keeps the dark creatures in their recesses
For this thing around my neck keeps me safe
I hold it close, clutching it in its place
And if a thing should dare to attack me
I simply hold it up, and and reveal for them to see
It knocks them back, sends them retreating into the dark
For what I have is a piece of light, an ever burning spark
My captured light, a piece of day
And I know one thing, it is here to stay
