someone once said that the night is darkest before the dawn

it is the moment when the path is not visible, and there remains nothing ahead to pull us forward

but i have begun to see hope

perhaps, the first rays of sunlight have come upon us

let them drench us with their warmth, until inspiration flows so freely, our spirits have no choice but to rise

because, for the first time in so long, i have begun to see hope

and that is reason enough to believe that the sun, too, shall shine
