I see the hero deep in all of us,
I see the valiant warrior
confined,
I see the wise and penetrating
mind,
I see compassion, sympathy and
trust.
I also see the hope that
turns to dust,
the jealousy and fear that make
us blind,
the bitter, broken face of
humankind,
the angry, frightened, sad and
envious.
It's tempting then to ask: 'Which
will prevail?
The night or light? The chaos or
the calm?'
But that struggle is what helps
to mould us all ‒
a lesson learned for every time
we fail,
and for every time the darkness
threatens harm,
a small, swift flame to shield
against the fall.
