There is a darkness outside my door,
Begging me to come out and play
And greet its denizens once more.

Now a twilight hugs my window,
Warning me of the coming of day
And the disappearing of shadow.

With sunlight shining on my eaves,
Driving me to hide far away
Deep within till the brightness leaves.

A Triad is a set of three Tercets
or three line poems. A Triad is Welch and/or Irish in origin
and the Tercets tend to be enclosed, first and third lines rhyming.
In mine here I also linked them, second lines all rhyming.
Convention is that each stanza deal with a different aspect in the poem
Such as dark, twilight, and light.

always a lesson to be learned from your words

Tomorrow, morn will rise me to its bright
A hand to greet me through its double gates
The day will loosen shadows' gray towards light

Beneath the cloak will lie a beating heart
The edge of which for touch of warmth it waits
The forward walk of time in taste and art

Medieval claims, the substance of the day
Sir Knight and Lady Fair the mood creates
The share of fantasy along paths way
