Clarity
My mind is clear
and hope prevails
This stack of books
Is the ransom for my life
And I am here
Whatever that entails
Though from how it looks
This is but a pause in
Ceaseless strife.
Oh blessed wind!
Make me anew.
Oh sacred sun!
The whole sky spans your range
And the day is at your beck and call-
Terminated by night,
Revived by morning dew.
Oh waxing moon!
Next week a tumescent orb;
As a crystal ball I gaze into you.
Hasten not the chill of night
Nor glow of gilded dawn
By the star most bright.
Suspend in time,
At least for now,
The expectant myst'ry
That Tomorrow will endow,
And reveal to me
What I need to know
And that which will foster
My courage to grow.
