PERVASIVE WILL, by                    
First Line: The night wind moans throughout my nimble will
Last Line: And morning strengthens my pervasive will.


The night wind moans throughout my nimble will,
And darkness gathers strains of deep deceit.
Fiercer than winds that devastate the hill,
My pulse is leaping to a faster beat.
I watch the stalks freeze long before the frost;
I hear the young: "Life comes but to betray!"
Are we indeed forsaken, and the lost
Perceiving only dark through cold dismay?

Are we a hunted people, rancored race?
Then why the waking sun, the starry spheres?
Custodians of light, must live in grace
Throughout their span, beyond their finite years.
The sun arises like a beacon still
And morning strengthens my pervasive will.
