Streak of blue in sky so dark,

Your singular resolution

Touches the chords of my heart,

Sets it in absolution

To remain firm in course and cause,

To ignore every hindrance

That would lead me to hesitation’s tremulous pause

And strip me of peace’s gentle deliverance;

For if you can remain strong and seen –

Just a sliver of blue surrounded by clouds so grey,

Who could so easily slip beneath the wrath so tumultuous and mean,

What forgivable course have I but to stay?
