Night clung tight to your breath
Held your steps in quiet death
Every pulse beneath the woe
Pulled the dark to let you go
Storms collapsed around your flame
Lost the power to reclaim
Shadows drained from undertow
Faltered as you learned to glow
Dreams emerged from fractured ground
Lifted through the muted sound
Ache that shaped your ebb and flow
Fed the rise that let you go
Light regained its steady show
Wounds released their undertow
Heart reclaimed its natural glow
Night withdrew to let you go
