Life Interrupted

I had a map, a steady pace,
A dream unfolding, full of grace.
The morning sun, the clear blue sky
Then came the silence, no goodbye.

One call, one truth, a single tear,
The life I knew slipped out of gear.
Plans unraveled, time stood still,
I faced the mountain, lost my will.

The laughter faded into mist,
Moments I barely knew I missed.
I held my breath through sleepless nights,
Wrestled shadows, dodged the light.

But in the stillness, something grew,
A softer strength, a clearer view.
Not all is gone when storms arise,
Some truths are only born from cries.

So here I stand, not where I planned,
But wiser now, with gentler hands.
Life interrupted, yes, it's true.
But I’m still here, becoming new.
