🌙 “The Quiet Light”
A Poem About Inner Strength
In the hush between heartbeats,
where the world forgets to turn,
a small and stubborn ember
waits for someone to discern.
It is the light we carry—
not loud, not grand, not proud—
a lantern made of longing
we guard beneath the shroud.
It flickers when we falter,
it brightens when we mend,
it whispers that our sorrows
will loosen in the wind.
For even in the shadows
that stretch across our sight,
the soul becomes its bravest
in the softest kind of light.
So walk with gentle footsteps,
and listen as you roam—
the quiet light within you
is always leading home.
