Today the world shifted just a bit
Enough for hope to breathe again
Was it just last week when I felt the Rittenhouse pain
I’m gone for now hope did proclaim
This morning I thought I felt a flutter
A feeling in my chest, a little shudder
I stopped - there it is again
I closed my eyes, picked up my pen
I’ll write this down, I’ve much to learn
I know the signs of your return
I’m not yet healed, I still feel the burn
Stay away, I can't bear to hear your song
Hope, you’ll crush my soul if this goes wrong
I’m weary from verdicts that have left me cold
I cannot bare to hear this story told
I must be still and wait to behold
The whisper coming over the trees
It feels like love and a warm breeze
It’s that feeling in my chest
I know that whisper - hope for the best
For love has answered my request today hope returned I feel love and peace
And taught me that fear I must release
Justice is more than a fleeting dream
And things are not always what they seem
I received the news in a quiet space
As tears were flowing down my face
Today I began to believe again
And hope returned with love and grace
Rest in Peace today Ahmaud
The verdict was ordained by God
