When All Seems Lost

When All Seems Lost 
Kevin Davis 2025

When all seems lost, and pathways fade away,
Listen close to your soul — it will not loudly say.
It speaks not quickly, nor flickers faint and wan;
When you're prepared to hear, it lives inside your brain.

Your answers bloom from everything you've learned,
A quiet catalog of the many lessons earned.
From day one, you've been training for this fight —
Trust that inner lantern guiding you through the night.

When all is lost, hush — your soul will show the way:
Quiet echoes of each lesson learned each day.
From childhood's small rehearsals to the trials you've known,
Inside you lives the answer — softly, but your own.
