a fragile bright thread woven through the darkest night~ light that dispels dread soft whisper of dawn chasing shadows from the soul~ sunshine on the lawn seed beneath the frost waiting for the gentle thaw~ life will not be lost tear begins to dry, a quiet strength starts to grow~ shine anew in sky sunbeam on the path, melting away winter's grip~ greens in aftermath a gentle warm breeze, carrying a hopeful song~ worries start to ease rainbow after storm, colours painting skies anew~ peace begins to form distant star's soft gleam promising a warmer shore~ life`s journey still beams.
