The Dark before Dawn

Dark before Dawn

The darkness of the night,

Seems like an endless void,

A world of shadows and despair,

Where hope is left destroyed.

The weight of the world,

Can feel so heavy on our soul,

A burden that we carry,

As we struggle towards our goal.

But in the midst of darkness,

There's a flicker of light,

A spark of hope that shines so bright,

And guides us through the night.

For even in the darkest hour,

When all seems lost and gone,

There's always hope that we can find,

And rise up with the dawn.

The morning brings a new day,

A fresh start to begin again,

To leave behind the darkness,

And embrace the light within.

With each passing moment,

The light grows stronger still,

And we find ourselves renewed,

With a sense of hope and will.

So let us not despair,

In the midst of darkest night,

For with each step we take,

We are moving towards the light.

For the dawn will always come,

After the darkest of night,

And with it comes a brand new day,

Filled with hope and light.

In the dark before dawn,

The world is still and quiet,

As if holding its breath,

Waiting for the morning light.

The stars in the sky,

Are like beacons in the night,

Guiding us through the darkness,

As we search for the light.

The moon shines bright,

A silver orb in the sky,

Its light casting shadows,

As it watches from on high.

The night can be scary,

A place of shadows and fear,

But in the midst of darkness,

Hope is always near.

For in the dark before dawn,

The world is filled with potential,

A promise of what could be,

A new day, so essential.

We must hold on to hope,

As we journey through the night,

For the light is always waiting,

Just beyond the edge of sight.

And as the first rays of sun,

Break through the morning sky,

We feel a sense of wonder,

As the world begins to come alive.

The birds begin to sing,

And the flowers start to bloom,

As the darkness fades away,

And gives way to the light of noon.

So let us not be afraid,

Of the dark before the dawn,

For it is a time of transition,

When the old is put to rest, and the new is born.

And in the midst of darkness,

We can find the strength to carry on,

As we journey towards the light,

And the promise of a brand new dawn.

The darkness lingers in the air,

As the night holds its breath,

A stillness falls upon the world,

And time seems to stand still, deathly quiet as death.

But in the dark before dawn,

There is a glimmer of hope,

A spark of light that shines so bright,

And helps us find the strength to cope.

It may seem like the end,

As the darkness takes its hold,

But there is always light to be found,

And stories waiting to be told.

For in the dark before dawn,

There is a sense of renewal,

A promise of a new beginning,

And a chance to start anew.

The shadows may be scary,

And the night can be so long,

But we must hold on to hope,

And find the strength to carry on.

For the dawn will always come,

After the darkest of night,

And with it comes a brand new day,

Filled with hope and light.

So let us not fear the darkness,

But embrace it with open arms,

For in the dark before dawn,

We can find the strength to weather any storm.

And when the first rays of light,

Break through the morning sky,

We'll feel the warmth of the sun,

And know that we'll never die.

For in the dark before dawn,

We find the strength to endure,

And with each passing moment,

We become stronger and more sure.

So let us hold on to hope,

And never give up the fight,

For in the dark before dawn,

There is always a glimmer of light.
