Beneath the Quiet Sky

Even the darkest nights carry the promise of dawn.

I walked through storms with trembling feet,

Through empty roads where silence meets.

I lost my way, I lost my name,

And wore my sorrow wrapped in shame.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The nights were heavy, the stars were cold,

My dreams felt broken, my soul felt old.

I begged the moon to hear my cry,

But even echoes learned to die.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yet in the dark, I found a spark,

A tiny flame against the stark.

A voice within began to say,

“The night will end, you’ll find your way.”

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I learned the truth I couldn’t see,

The strength I sought was born in me.

The tears I shed became my rain,

That grew the flowers after pain.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Now I stand, not who I was,

But braver still because I lost.

For every wound that cut me deep,

Awoke a soul I longed to keep.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

And though the past may call my name,

I rise beyond its heavy frame.

For life is not what fades away,

But all the love we choose to stay.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Even in silence, the heart can speak.

Even in breaking, the soul finds peak.
