Beyond The Hopeless Night Poem by Falana Zion

At that corner of your room
Bless her, so she can bloom
We've heard enough of the glum
It's time to wish her good

Stop painting her black
When she's already dark
Don't make her thirst
When she's out of water

She's dancing inside the fire
Yet, you're pouring out your water
She's feeling hunger
With no strength to tarry longer
Yet, you say,she won't rest a night

Enough of wishing her bad
Bless her, so she'd stand
Enough of the hopeless night
Stand out in prayer

Even though she's aging,
and seems she's fading
But beyond the lonely night
Everything will be alright
