Deep into the woodlands dun
I observe as the path before unwinds
Turning a little to the left yes
No perhaps more to the right
I choke and weep, chilled with fright
Moments, after the hour had passed
Faith held me close and gave a smile
“It makes no sense to seed remorse
bid adieu to worry, pain and qualm
Watch out as moonlight weaves a trail
Sow hope no matter if valor has failed.”

I’m afraid that my valor has failed after last night’s U.S. election results. Hope? Is that what I’m to sow now? Well, maybe I can…

Yes, we must always hope……

Indeed it makes no sense to seed remorse.
It manages to reproduce on its own anyway.
