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.
