š Light and Shadow
A tale of love, loss, and the promise of dawn

Tonight, Iāll tell you a storyā
Not a dream, nor a fable,
But the song of a boyās lonely heart,
Every word unshakably true.
He had no dreams to call his own,
No warmth of love within his chest.
He walked alone through quiet streets,
With no hand to hold, no rest.
Then one night, by a moonlit shore,
Wrapped in silver glow and oceanās roar,
He met a girlāgentle, pure, and kindā
And light poured into his weary mind.
The world around him sparkled anew;
His heart was bright, his dreams felt true.
Days drifted by in colors fair,
Their loveāa song that filled the air.
No sorrow stirred, no trace of fear,
Just painted dreams that drew them near.
But darkness cameāsudden, deep, and wide,
It stole the joy he held inside.
She left him there, beneath the rain,
And shadows whispered through his pain.
Darknessāonly darkness stayed,
Dreams were broken, love decayed.
Then one day, with tearful eyes,
He returned beneath the same soft skies.
The waves still sang their endless tune,
But gone was sheāhis radiant moon.
And softly then, the ocean spoke:
āWipe away your tears, my child.
You will not walk this world aloneā
Love will return, gentle and wild.ā
Light will bloom around your soul,
Look upāsee how the heavens glow.
Beyond the pain, beyond the scars,
Your dawn awaits among the stars.
