Stars in the Night

Through life’s trials and tribulations we navigate,

 

Told to give time and patience, but they test our fate.

 

Each setback feels like a hard blow,

 

Is this growth or just a cruel show?

 

We seek guidance, but find no fitting advice,

Look for signs, but see no stars in the skies.

 

As if the universe is tearing us apart,

 

Their masterful art leaves us with a heavy heart.

Growing pains are all we can claim,

 

Yet we hold on, our hearts still aflame.

 

A dark cloud looms over our days and nights,

 

All we yearn for is a glimmer of light.

Lessons of self-restraint and patience are taught,

 

Angels keep us waiting, never a complaint brought.

 

Dear Universe, the air is frigid and bleak,

 

We cannot hold on much longer, we’re weak.

Afraid to even wish, for the universe gives and takes,

 

A bittersweet dish, magic and pain intertwined, our souls it shakes.

 

But we let emotions consume us, until we’re changed,

 

Swallowed whole in the depths of our pain and despair, until we’re estranged.

In the abyss, we find the strength to emerge and repair,

 

Let the universe do what it may, we’ll rise from the ashes and find our way.

 

For even in the darkest nights, stars still shine,

 

And with each new day, our scars will heal in time.
