HIND sight 20 20

In shadows deep, where silence lay,  
A moment came and stole the day.  
A choice I made, with a very heavy heart,  
Unraveled dreams oh it tore me apart.  

I watched the light fade infront of my eyes,  
As questions swirled, like quiet lies.  
“Why did this happen?” travelled loud,  
In a world once bright, now covered in clouds.  

The pain was sharp, like a cold winter's chill,  
Each breath a weight, a bitter thrill.  
I wandered lost, through nights so long,  
A tune that played, a haunting song.  

But in that dark, a flicker began to glow,
A seed of hope, in sorrow sow......
I searched for meaning, grasped the thread,  
In every tear, a path was led.  

Then came the dawn, with gentle grace,  
Revealing truths I had to face.  
The trials shaped me, lost my soul,  
In brokenness, I found my whole.  

Through every storm, I tried to stand,  
With purpose clear, a guiding hand.  
For in the struggle strength i found,  
And in the silence, wisdom's sound.  

Now when the shadows creep and crawl,  
I rise again, I will not fall.  
Each hardship met with open heart,  
For every ending is a new start.
