Nothing Dark Can Stay

I followed the NaPoWriMo prompt today to write a satire or parody of a famous poem. My poem is inspired by Robert Frost's poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay." I will share his poem here first, followed by my poem. 

Nothing Gold Can Stay
By Robert Frost

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Nothing Dark Can Stay

By Candace Shultz

The day turns into night,

Black, the absence of light.

But we use that time to sleep;

Only hours does it keep.

Then light begins to shine,

The day renewed, divine.

So night turns back to day.

Nothing dark can stay.
