Finding Light in the Shadows I By Edina Jackson

In the quiet places where shadows linger,

there is a flicker—

a spark, small but persistent,

waiting to be noticed.

The dark is not absence,

but a canvas for the light

that quietly gathers strength

before it rises.

It is in the small moments—

the breath you take when you feel lost,

the step you make when you’re unsure,

the courage that blooms in silence,

even when you can’t see it yet.

The shadows do not define you.

They simply wait,

reminding you that light always returns,

even when it feels distant.

And though you may not always know

where the light will come from,

it is already in you,

woven into the very core of your being,

shining from the inside out.

So, in the shadows,

trust the quiet glow within.

It may not be blinding,

but it is enough to guide you,

to show you the way,

one step at a time.
