Hope in the Ashes

Whispers in the wind, echoes of a world gone dim

Ash alone, wandering through shadows thin

Fragments of hope, flicker in the night

A lonely journey, seeking out the light

Broken lands and fading skies

Silent cries and unanswered ties

But in the darkness, a spark remains

A legacy of love in the rain

Though the world has fallen, I carry their memory

Each step I take, a silent symphony

Broken but unbowed, I stand alone

Hope whispers softly, calling me home

In this lonely world, I find my way

Through the ache and the disarray

With every heartbeat, I hold on tight

Finding strength in the fading light

A piano’s solo riffs - mournful, deep and clear

Songs of yesterday, whispering near

Survivors hidden in the scars of time

Fighting shadows, seeking the sublime

Together or alone, we’ll rise once more

In the silent stars, what’s worth living for?

Through the pain and the tears, I’ll keep my vow

Hope still lingers, I don’t know how
