Long Haul Before Dawn

We don’t need you to make us feel safe, because you made us feel brave – selah.
Teddy Bears watching from the windows
have gone back to their beds.
The trembling world has shaken us to the bone
but the winding river
brings us forever home.
Darkness covers the earth
and daybreak’s first light
inspires our morning glory
to blossom in solemnity.
