Shadow Season Musings

January 25, 2011

The world is full of sharks but we can will them all away

And danger dances near but we can fight and we can pray

We can dodge its blows and we won't know but we can dance away

And the night won't be the night if the day were not the day

There's a storm over the ocean; there's a thief come in the night

We will let ourselves surrender to the truth that we must fight

We must fear and yet be fearless, and rejoice while we defend

For the fire is all around us but the end's still in the end

Postscript:

In my hopes we'll be remembered far beyond our long years' end

Though faith shall shift and waver and though luck's a fickle friend

In my hopes, your hand's in my hand if the world should fall apart

But thunder's noise shakes earthly joys and pounds upon my heart

Author's Note

Anything else I can put there besides "fickle friend"?
