Clock hands carved through sorrow
Nights gathered bitter cold
A fragile hope survived it
A story begged to unfold
Shivers eased their tether
Tears dried along your chin
A faint renewal flickered
A calm unclenched your skin
Light brushed forgotten corners
Warmth woke the dormant room
A sacred vow took shelter
Where wilted hours bloomed
Rise from the dim enclosure
Let promise guard your powers
Life grows deeper meaning
Through long unspoken hours
