Resolute

Wearied and worn,
strength reaches high
Reaching solace,
hastens the need
Fall to believe,
soothe broken bones

Clash

Moonless sky,
blackness looms
Those who stand,
face the wrath
Willing troops,
for light’s sake
Blind to faith,
first to strike

Storm clouds loom,
dark and gray
Faith points high,
reaching for blue
Joy rises up,
catching the light
Gather such orbs,
before they fall

Stone, so strong;

faith stands tall

Green, so fragile;

life goes on
