Am I in decay?
or dormant like the trees?
winter brings evergreens into my home
with spikes instead of leaves,
and I bristle up just the same just to survive
when the moon replaces the sun,
but just as the dawn at last is reborn,
I know:
My peace will come
And am I pail with fright?
or covered in a frost?
the promise of summer won’t keep me warm
nor memories return what I’ve lost,
but I fill my thoughts with these in desperate days of doom
that beat like stretched stomach skin drum,
but hushed as a whisper
my hope is a fixture,
it calls:
I know my peace will come
my peace will come
And I know that darkness will not last,
and I know all pain will some day pass,
I know new songs of joy shall be sung,
and I know that my peace will come
