šŸŒ™ Light and Shadow

A tale of love, loss, and the promise of dawn

By Shazzed Hossain ShajalPublished 3 months ago • 1 min read
Where light meets shadow

Tonight, I’ll tell you a story—

Not a dream, nor a fable,

But the song of a boy’s 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 ocean’s roar,

He met a girl—gentle, pure, and kind—

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 love—a song that filled the air.

No sorrow stirred, no trace of fear,

Just painted dreams that drew them near.

But darkness came—sudden, deep, and wide,

It stole the joy he held inside.

She left him there, beneath the rain,

And shadows whispered through his pain.

Darkness—only 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 she—his radiant moon.

And softly then, the ocean spoke:

ā€œWipe away your tears, my child.

You will not walk this world alone—

Love will return, gentle and wild.ā€

Light will bloom around your soul,

Look up—see how the heavens glow.

Beyond the pain, beyond the scars,

Your dawn awaits among the stars.
