Floating the dark

Fighting the darkness head-on,
keeping the danger at the bay,
waiting for the sparking dawn,
hands poised ready to slay.
I took out my glimmering sword,
lighting filled the black world,
and dark blood poured,
yet it swirled: curled and uncurled.
I braced myself plunging down
towards the inky stark
barred and broken ground
with a flick of the sword lighting and floating the dark.
