Amidst the Darkness: A Testament of Hope

Finding Light and Unity in the Shadows of War

In times of war, as darkness approaches,

In the anarchy where lilies once bloom,

Our hearts are entwined in a dark thread of anxiety.

Still burns a red spark of hope nonetheless.

Under the ceaseless darkness sky,

Having clouds covering the light and hiding the stars,

We keep looking among the noise for serenity and guidance; among the cries far away.

Despite our great distances, we stand joined in the depths of hopelessness, where whispering cast terrible spells and courage resides.

a pulse driven by love.

Every morning offers fresh hope to persevere against hardship and finish this road as the human spirit is most developed and strong in the furnace of strife.

We see the cost with tear-streaked eyes in the wake of broken hopes and terrible losses, but even in this shadow, a germ of grace, an ideal world where kindness rules.

Thus, let us fast, till the very last, embrace love among this conflict.

From the ashes shall rise hope; under the heavens will arrive peace.
