Songs of Hope

She sang from the depths of her soul,  
Songs of hope and redemption.  
A river flows gently through her chamber,  
Searching for the gate to Zion.  

She has journeyed many times out of the night,  
Yet it still lingers behind her.  
A rhythm of turbulence fills her soul.  
The day opens its doors,  
And she walks into its complexities.  

"The stars beckoned her song to reach the crescent moon,"  
And the elements carried her melodies into secret chambers.  
Sometimes, in her slumber, she sees a distant glow,  
Surrounding a place but gradually dims and dies.  

Her song was heard by the night watchers;  
It awakened the unseen.  
Light came her way,  
But will it end the trail of the night?
