Forsaking stillness
Breathing in comfort’s air
Treasuring sunset
Searching for something rare

Encroaching darkness
Rising tides of despair
Swimming ocean’s depths
Solving puzzle’s first square

Transcending stalemate
Ignoring mountain’s glare
Hearing hope’s message
Answering one more dare

Clearing conscience bright
Loosening every snare
Joining up with peace
Overcoming to bear

Calling out with joy
Filling each empty chair
Witnessing one choice
Knowing tomorrow cares
