Fear once trailed like winter smoke
Cold breath wrapped each fragile spoke
Steps grew small beneath its weight
Darkness whispered sealed fate
Light arrived without a shout
Gentle truth rinsed hidden doubt
Shadow softened near the glow
Fate changed shape you used to know
Running fed the fear you held
Turning made the story melt
Arms opened toward the night
Shadow bowed before your light
Not escape but calm embrace
Not defeat—redemption’s grace
Destiny bends where courage stands
Shadow rests in open hands
