There goes the sun,
sliding below the trees.
leaving long shadows
and a dark world.

The moon now shines,
but far too dim
to carry the burden,
to carry the world.

A faint light in the distance
rises to oversee
and protect us.
from ourselves.

.... "protect us from ourselves"!! You say it!

But the true light is within, I believe!

Well done.

I agree with Margherita.  The light is within, Rileigh - and it shines from you with each poem you share.
