The Lantern Walker

A mysterious man walks at night with a lantern that brings warmth and hope to dark places

By Akmal95JrPublished about a month ago 1 min read

The lantern glowed softly in his hand,

guiding him through silent streets,

as if the night parted to let him pass.

No one knew his name,

only the warmth that followed him

like a memory refusing to fade.

Some believed he searched for someone lost,

others said he carried a promise

too heavy for ordinary hearts.

Yet he walked on,

calm and patient,

leaving a trail of light behind him

as though he was stitching hope into the darkness itself.
