Truth is older, truth’s the most lustrous light,
Darkness never understand’s truth’s bite.
Still, what’s right illuminates, flares despite.
We can’t comprehend truth’s ageless fight,
Sincerity past lies and beyond fits;
Of those captured in the draw of twilight.
Still, deeper lies the draw of what’s righteous,
Of people laughing, enjoying time‘s flicker;
Marvellous evenings of time shared in firelight.
With our family and friends; truth calls despite,
Shadows of mayhem, nightmare’s densest pits;
And God saves, wraps each soul in soothing light.
When we lose sight, sensing only life’s dim blights,
Hold to loved ones, Holy faith ever-lit.
Never let daylight blow-out; hold on tight.
In shattered dreams of memories we write,
Gazing forward, even when life’s unfocused.
Unafraid we reach, clash in starless nights;
Our souls clutch verity, lies die in fright.
