In times of fear and doubt
Twilight is the color throughout
Light extinguished by the unknown
Shadows seem to have overgrown
Nerves will get the best of us all
Inevitability makes us all feel small
Voices and words send us down a slope
Looking within to find our inner hope
Doubts mask the inner voice within
Eyes open to see a light, though thin
Remembering friends and neighbors
Reminded a community never wavers
Morning light is just around the corner
Hidden from our mind like a foreigner
Raising the spirits of sisters and brothers
The sun rising above the dark that smothers
