When Urged to Kneel

Where lies
During the darkest of night
Even if assured that the sun will rise

The soul thirsts for hope
As the heart learns to cope
Words, familiar, soothing trope

A far cry
This slipped too fast hand in slight
Armed with the knowledge of what’s worth the fight

As the soul thirsts for hope
Balm for the heart learning to cope
Repeat the words, hummed as soothing trope
