Beyond the Echoes
In shadows deep where sorrows lie,
The echoes of a past gone by.
Yet from the ruins, new light breaks,
A heart that mends, a soul that wakes.
Through storm and silence, rise anew,
The strength within, a force so true.
With tender steps, the path we find,
To leave the dark, and peace unwind.
The scars that mark our tender skin,
Are maps of places we have been.
But in their wake, a story grows,
Of how we've faced and overthrew foes.
So hold the dawn within your eyes,
For life’s a journey, ever wise.
From ashes gray, new life will bloom,
With grace and love, dispelling gloom.
