Of darkest days
and bitter nights
tears veiled from the light.
How many hearts captive
behind China’s walls
out of mind and sight.

All voices silenced
cries to a din
innocence tortured and betrayed.
Of callous crimes
and bitter nights
come light from darkest days.

Only when the skies fall darkest
can stars shine brightest.
