Night leaned close to hear your breath
Learned your wars with quiet death
Fear withdrew its cold bequeath
Broke its vow to circle beneath
Storms that chased your fragile core
Found your courage asked no more
Pain that echoed harsh folklore
Softened into silent shore
Dreams approached your trembling light
Found their shelter in your sight
Tears that carved your lonely plight
Guided shadows into right
World reshaped its ancient rite
Bowed before your gentle might
Darkness learned your inner hue—
Turned from harm to guarding you
