Falling into Darkness

she the dragonfly
once light and carefree.
darkness wraps around her now
like a glove fits one's hand.
light, begone; warmth, no more.
falling, falling
now it is dark.

For Jon. Thank you for the birthday present. Here's your gift in return.

EDIT: Resubmitted. The cropping and direction of this piece has bothered me for sometime now, and since I had a bit of time, I decided to rework it a little bit. The result is this, which I feel is a considerable improvement. It's not entirely different; there are only minor changes, but I feel that its presentation is a little bit better this time around. I hope you agree
