Hope. Life. Death. Change. Love.

Hope is a candle in the wind’s deep sigh,

A flicker that dances yet dares not die.

It clings to the dark by a silver thread,

A whisper of light when all seems dead.

Life is the river, restless and wide

Carving its path with each turning tide.

It laughs in the sun, and cries in the rain

It sings in the joy, and bleeds through the pain.

Death is the hush at the end of the song

A shadow that waits patient and strong.

Not cruel, but quiet, like a closing door

Leading to realms we cannot explore.

Change is the wind that never stays still

It shatters the silence bending every will.

Yet from the ruins, new roots will grow

In every ending, a seed we sow.

Love is the thread that stitches us whole

The heartbeat that echoes soul to soul.

It stays when we are broken, stands when we fall

The quietest voice that speaks above all.

So walk through the fire, the storm, the rain

Hold fast through the joy, the loss, the pain.

For hope, life, death, change, and love align

To shape the stars and the heart… both yours and mine.
