Endless Wait: Resilience Awakens
#WritcoPoemPrompt11

The days were unending as were the nights,
She waited and waited and waited,
But there seemed no hope in sight.
Time crawled like a wounded beast,
Leaving her heart heavy, burdened by grief.

In the depths of longing, she yearned for a sign,
A flicker of light,
A spark divine,
To guide her through the darkness,
And fill her soul with radiant brightness.
The world stood still,
Wrapped in absolute silence,
No whispers of solace,
Nor a comforting presence.

Her spirit, once vibrant, now dulled with despair,
She wandered through days with an empty stare.
Deep in her core, a flicker remained,
A flame of resilience that refused to wane.
With each passing moment, it grew stronger,
Defying the odds, igniting hope's ember.

She mustered her strength,
Summoned her might,
To navigate the tempest and reclaim her light.
No longer bound by the chains of despair,
She forged ahead,
Propelled by a newfound air.
She whispered to the stars, her voice resolute,
"Though the journey is arduous, I shall not refute."

The universe listened, its response drawing near,
In the darkest hour, her purpose became clear.
For life's greatest trials birth wisdom untold,
And in shattered dreams,
Came chances to be bold.
She embraced the unknown,
A path uncharted,
With faith as her compass, fear soon departed.

Through valleys of doubt and mountains of strife,
She discovered the treasures hidden in life.
Each setback a lesson,
Every tear a release,
She unearthed her strength, found inner peace.
The days once unending,
Now held new meaning,
And the nights,
Once lonely,
With hope now beaming.

In the tapestry of time, she weaved her story,
A testament to resilience, grace, and glory.
For even in the depths of despair's abyss,
She found the power to rise,
Persist,
And exist.
And though her wait seemed eternal, endless,
She emerged,
Transformed,
With a heart that transcends.

Those who are waiting,
Longing, and still,
Know that within you lies an unyielding will.
The days may seem unending,
The nights so long,
But keep holding on,
For you are very strong.
In the depths of your soul, a flame flickers bright,
A hope, like sunrise, will pierce through the night.
