De Jackson (aka WhimsyGizmo) is hosting at dVerse Poets pub for Quadrille 93. “Pen us a poem of exactly 44 words (not counting the title), including some form of the word spirit.”
Spirit of Light
A star in the dark shall be woken
light from the shadows shall spring
spirit so strong can’t be broken
bells too long silent won’t ring
remember to listen and hear
when one star stands alone in the darkness
then every nightmare shall fear
word count 44
Til next time ~Peace ~JPP

I love this first line, especially:
“A star in the dark shall be woken”
I can see it blinking open…

I like this “spell” and how you end it. Light will always vanquish the dark.
