In the hush of shadow’s sweep,
Where silence holds its breath,
A whisper of hope begins to creep—
A thread defying death.
A single flame, though small, can dance,
Through depths of fear and night,
Turning despair into a chance
To glimpse the dawn’s first light.
Hold steady in the winds that howl,
When the path feels lost, unsure—
Your heart can be the guiding soul,
The lantern, calm and pure.
No need to blaze with reckless fire,
Or blind the stars above—
A gentle spark, a quiet wire,
Is all you need to prove.
That light will catch in others’ eyes,
A ripple through the dark;
A thousand dreams will rise and climb
From the strength of your small spark.
So light your fire, let it glow—
Be the beacon, brave and true;
For even the smallest light can show
The way through shadows blue.
Thank-you for reading.
Much Love and Light,
Brenda Marie
