In the absence of your radiant glow, The world has grown dim and muted, Once vibrant, now draped in shadows, The flowers that bloomed now wilt and wither, Their beauty fading in the stillness. The warmth and comfort you once offered Are now a distant echo, Like whispers fading into the void. Darkness creeps, a subtle tide, The stars flicker, their brilliance dimmed, In their place, a hollow remains. Has your light been swallowed whole? Yet I cradle the ember of hope, A flicker in the heart of desolation, Stars begin to twinkle, a celestial gleam, Their light, a reflection of your shining soul. Your spirit ignites within me, My sunshine
