Conflict’s consuming breath
Tomorrow’s sunrise waits
Evening’s beating rhythm
Will darkness be mankind’s fate?
Each hour fails to open
Anger’s agitation
Whispers breeding chaos
Peace scouting for its station
Searching for safe harbor
Bumpy shall be ship’s ride
Echoes’ explosive drift
Stormy waters’ rising tide
Calmness now surfaces
Persistence pays each debt
Voices now standing down
Courageous steps quell each threat
Tomorrow comes about
Darkness has run aground
Morning works together
Blessed spirit at last found
Big Sky Buckeye 
Imaginative and realistic interpretation of a boat caught in a storm and making it to shore. I love each verse!
