Night the disquieting wind
   That sweeps in from the frozen North
      Breaking the once promising Day
      The once trusting Light
      The once gentle Breeze

Fear, the beveling blade
   That cuts the comfort from Dawn
      Replacing calm with Chaos
      Dispelling once brightening Hope
      Darkening what once felt Home

 Now comes the new Sun
   comes the morning light
     gradual and calming
       orange and yellow and bright
         these colors and tones of new Life
