Shadows Before Dawn

When silence holds secrets

Night clings heavy,
stars hide behind clouds,
wind whispers warnings,
but no one listens.

City sleeps restless,
streets hold secrets,
footsteps echo softly,
footsteps that vanish.

Luna walks alone,
heart pounding fiercely,
chasing shadows cast,
by dreams unspoken.

Darkness breathes deep,
fear wraps tight,
but hope sparks quiet,
flickering like flame.

Voices call distant,
truth hides well,
waiting for courage,
to break silence.

Morning will come,
bringing light sharp,
cutting through shadows,
revealing hidden truths.

Until then,
Luna stands firm,
waiting with strength,
ready to fight.

Each breath counts,
each step forward,
no turning back.
She faces night,
because dawn waits.

Mist curls low,
whispers from silence,
carrying forgotten secrets,
buried in shadows.

Fear is heavy,
but fire burns,
a spark inside,
refusing to die.

Eyes wide open,
Luna meets dark,
with steady heart,
and steady hands.

Hope is armor,
courage a shield,
in battle for light,
against creeping night.
