Eclipse

In the shadow of an eclipse, where worry takes its flight, The burden of strife can weigh you down, Yet in each moment of pain, in the depths of sorrow’s night, A spark of sunshine glimmers, a whispering sound. When loss feels like a mountain, an insurmountable wall, And anguish grips the heart with a vice-like clutch, Draw breath, finding strength in the smallest of all, For even in fear, hope can ignite with a gentle touch. Through the uncertainty that often clouds the way, Search for meaning, a glimpse of purpose in the dark, Though deprivation may linger, and hunger never sway, A flicker of resilience can light the faintest spark. So rise above the lack that seeks to confine, Embrace the light of sunshine, let it wash over the pain, For in the heart, a whispered promise will align, That from the depths of sorrow, hopes can rise again.

Very nice Isaac. An eclipse of darkness lasts for but a moment. Sunshine is forever
