Between Shadows and Light

Life is a lantern carried through darkness,
Fragile flame trembling in hidden winds.
Every choice is a breath that shields it,
Every dream, a spark that makes it rise.

We stumble through nights heavy with silence,
Yet stars are born in the cracks of the sky.
Even despair becomes a strange teacher,
Turning broken glass into windows of hope.

Light is sweeter because shadows exist,
Joy is deeper because sorrow has spoken.
The path is never straight, never simple—
But every bend reveals a secret horizon.

When we fall, we do not vanish,
We scatter seeds for those who come after.
And in the end, life is not loss,
It is a garden we plant with our courage.
