Transient

[qwerty_H]

Dusk,
youthful child.
Daughter of day.

Pale,
hauntingly innocent,
helplessly small
prey.

Caught,
captive of time.
Left to decay.

Withering,
Lost and forgotten
Wasting a-
way.

I like the thought of personifying the times of day (I am assuming there will be 4 - dawn, day, dusk, night)

I also liked hauntingly innocent a lot!

that last line break on a-
way didn't really make any sense to me.

thanks for posting!
