Hope in the Shadows

When shadows fall and truth seems lost,

Beneath the weight of lies’ great cost,

A spark ignites, though faint, it burns,

The wheel of justice slowly turns.

The webs of falsehood twist and bind,

Yet truth resides within the mind.

Through every doubt, through every fight,

Its steady glow defies the night.

In darkest hours, strength is found,

When silence echoes all around.

A voice emerges, clear and true,

Revealing what was always due.

The path is hard, the journey steep,

Through buried secrets, lies that creep.

But hope persists, a flame unseen,

It fights for all that might have been.

So when despair begins to call,

And doubt seems stronger than it all,

Remember this: the light will show,

For truth and hope are bound to grow.

⚖️⚖️⚖️

Whether seeking justice, understanding, or peace, let this be your reminder: darkness is not the end. Breakthroughs are born in perseverance, and the truth, no matter how deeply buried, has a way of rising to the surface. Hold onto hope—it is the light that will guide you through.

⚖️⚖️⚖️

Poetry Prompt:

Friday Writings #153: My cup runneth over

A pocketful of sunshine and 

The Waiting Grief

The truth may take time, but it will eventually come, as long as you keep your heart open to it.

There is a grief that never quiets,

not with time, not with tears.

It sits like stone within the heart,

waiting patiently for years.

A life left empty, words unspoken,

truths that hide behind the dark.

I carry memories, frayed and broken,

and bear this hollow, aching mark.

They call it “moving on”—but I remain

rooted in moments left unclear.

Though I’ve forgiven, though I’ve grown,

the echo of injustice lingers here.

I wait for answers, watch and listen,

as shadows shift, as truths arise.

For what goes around returns again,

and all that’s hidden meets the light.

There’s no revenge in this quiet strength,

no joy in watching others fall.

Only a hope that peace will come,

and lay its hands upon us all.

A pocketful of sunshine and 

Hope's Anchor

 

In the tempest’s roar, where shadows play,

Hope stands firm, a guiding ray.

Through darkest nights and endless seas,

It whispers softly, “You will find peace.”

With every wave that crashes near,

Hope holds the soul, calms the fear.

A steadfast light, it breaks the gloom,

Promising joy will always bloom.

When storms arise and hearts feel torn,

Remember, from night, a new day is born.

So cast your anchor, let faith unfurl,

For hope is the anchor that steadies our world.

A pocketful of sunshine and 

You Are Never Alone
