"Echoes of Resilience: Navigating Loss with Courage"

The memory of one's parents serves as a source of guide and inspiration

By Revathi ThangavelPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Beneath twilight's gentle shroud, I walk the path alone,

Through the maze of my mind, where silence claims its throne.

Shadows of doubt, echoes of loss, entwine and sway,

Yet in this tangled labyrinth, I find the strength to stay.

Like a phoenix rising from ashes, my spirit takes flight,

Kindling the fire within, dispelling darkness with might.

Cloaked in the resilience passed down by my kin,

Their absence, a void, yet their love dwells deep within.

In their memory, a sanctuary, amid life's tempestuous sea,

Guiding me through shadows, sparking hope endlessly.

A warrior facing life's trials, standing bold and true,

In the embrace of their love, I find the courage to pursue.

Though they've departed, their essence lingers on,

Fueling my determination until the break of dawn.
