Faithful Persistence
More shadows of silence
Light hidden at high tide
Overlapped with mystery
Waiting, tomorrow’s blindside
Each unique human trait
Some filled with brilliant light
Others covered in darkness
One choice strengthens in flight
Embers from steadfast light
Arriving at low tide
Covered with hope’s lasting peace
No longer with saddened eyes
Today’s filtering voice
Gentleness coming forth
Praises all filled with goodness
Compass treasures light’s true north
Tomorrow’s joy arrives
Without any delay
Time’s faithful persistence
Welcomed light of grace now stays
