I Will Hope Again

In the quiet moments,
when the world is still,
and the weight of days
presses heavy on my soul,
I whisper to the shadows,
“I will hope again.”

Though the night is long,
and the stars seem distant,
there is a light within,
flickering, steadfast,
a promise to myself,
“I will hope again.”

Through the tears that fall,
like rain on barren ground,
nourishing the seeds of tomorrow,
I feel the stirrings of renewal,
and softly, yet surely,
“I will hope again.”

In the face of despair,
when all seems lost,
and the road ahead
is shrouded in fog,
I cling to the belief,
“I will hope again.”

For in the heart’s deep chambers,
resilience resides,
a quiet strength,
a flame that endures,
and with each breath I take,
“I will hope again.”

So let the storms rage,
and the winds howl fierce,
for I am anchored in faith,
rooted in the promise
that after every fall,
I will hope again.”
