At the End of the Night

Prompt 4: write a villanelle


At the End of the Night

Where will you be at the end of the night
After you've finished the deeds of the day
Will you burn out or will you bring the light

As you shelter in place are you all right
Do you work all day or find time to play
Where will you be at the end of the night

When the crisis ends will you take flight
Or are you so cozy you'd rather just stay
Will you burn out or will you bring the light

Will the world transform into something bright
Or just return to it's familiar way
Where will you be at the end of the night

Did you get the chance to become a white knight
At home or at work or in some other way
Where will you be at the end of the night
Will you burn out or will you bring the light
