This is an older poem that I created, intended as a song with significant meaning in the novel I am attempting to finish writing before I die. I don't think I have posted this before. In light of the current situation, I thought it was appropriate....
I am a child of solace.
I shall ease the pain.
The heat of the wound is scalding.
Let me be the balm to the flame.
Heated words of battle
Strike the chorus of unbridled rage.
I shall be the harpist.
I shall smooth the page.
Tell me, weary trav'ler:
How long have you journeyed, how far shall you go?
I will be your shelter,
Your furs in the brutal cold.
Yes, I am the child of solace.
I shall ease the pain.
But the heat of the heart is passion.
One should never squelch that flame.
