Take Solace (177 of 365)

Day 177 of the 365 day poem challenge.

Word of the day trenchant meaning: "having keenness and forcefulness and penetration in thought."

Take solace 

When danger is near
When clouds are grey
When strangers frown 
And your head is downcast
Take it in absorb it

When friends recoil
When grief descends
When sombre omens appear
And you are lost in fear
Take time to remember
Take time to forget

When heroes seem empty
When rhetoric no longer talks 
When speeches are worn
And promises are torn
Take reflection be trenchant 

When rivals tear 
When countries do war
When the world collapses
And everyone seems divided
Take note it will not always be
Take note very few want this
