Silent Vigil

Silent vigil, shadows wait,
Watching close the hands of fate.
Quiet strength in eyes that see,
Guardians of what will be.

Whispers hush, but hearts are loud,
Standing tall, unbowed, unclouded.
Silent vigil, steady flame,
Holding true, despite the blame.

In the stillness, power grows,
Roots beneath, the courage shows.
Silent vigil, never gone,
Until the coming of the dawn.
