^!!***!!^^!!***!!^^!!***!!^^!!***!!^^!!***!!^ Above the earth, where restless branches sway, A mother dove guards life from night and day. Beneath her wings, her little nestlings sleep, While silent promises of love she keeps. ^!! Below, where morning dew adorns the ground, A crimson rose in quiet grace is found. Its tender petals kiss the waking air, While hidden thorns stand guard against despair. ^!! The mother dove, with gentle eyes, looks down, And asks the rose beneath the leafy crown: ^!! "Tell me, dear rose, when winter winds blow cold, And storms arrive with tales of pain untold, Do thorns not wound the heart you keep inside? How do you bloom when tears you cannot hide?" ^!! The rose sways softly in the morning breeze, As though it holds the wisdom of the trees. ^!! "Dear dove, the thorns are not my enemy, They guard the fragile beauty within me. For every wound that life may leave behind, May teach a deeper strength to heart and mind. ^!! Not every fall means d...

When dark clouds gather and shadows fall, It’s okay to weep, but don't hide away from it all; No flower can withstand the howling wind's might, So weary moments aren't defeats in the night! When every path ahead seems firmly closed, Remember a new road may soon be exposed; Don't tremble before those who cast stones your way, Stand tall on your own two feet and seize the day. Every single moment soaked in bitter tears, Is the seed of tomorrow that conquers your fears; To a world that dismisses and counts you out, Give a radiant smile and silence the doubt. With unwavering thoughts and a heart full of grace, The dark clouds will part and sunshine replace; Wipe away your tears and bravely march ahead, For no prize is worth more than the life you tread! First, recognize your worth and what you can do, Realize this stumble's not a curse upon you; When sorrows weigh heavy and bottle up inside, Open up to your loved ones, let nothing be hide. When massive goals loom like m...

!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!! A seed does not question when it blooms, Nor does the dawn demand the night to stay; The river journeys through the darkest gloom, Trusting the sea will find its way. !!***!! We wander far beneath the endless skies, Chasing distant dreams and treasures untold; Yet often miss the wisdom in our eyes, And the priceless warmth that no hands can hold. !!***!! We search for answers in the world outside, Through countless paths and lessons yet unknown; But deep within, where truth and silence reside, Lies a light that we have always known. !!***!! For what is a victory without someone to share? What is a treasure without a heart to care? What is the meaning of a journey's end, If there's no love, no soul, no cherished friend? !!***!! Let not the fruit decide the journey's worth, Nor measure happiness by what we gain; For love is the greatest gift upon this earth, A gentle sunshine after every rain. !!***!! Sometimes we seek the wisdo...

  !!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!! Beyond the stone walls That fortress the kingdom of darkness, There exists a quiet light- The living power of words, Awakening the sleeping soul. !!***!! A knife carries the shadow of violence, A blade shaped by human hands, Never an emblem of liberation. Nor are open eyes, by themselves, The ultimate proof of freedom; True freedom lies much deeper, In the courage to look within. !!***!! And sometimes, closed eyes Behind the dark glass of silence Remind us of a hidden realm: The freedom to imagine and create, To question without intimidation, To speak without fear of the storm. !!***!! Expression is the voice That refuses to fall silent Amid the heaviest chains of oppression- A flame no intolerance can extinguish, A diamond needle of truth Piercing through inherited ignorance. !!***!! Freedom is not merely keeping our eyes open; It is the right to think without permission, To disagree without hatred, To speak without persecution, An...

  !***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***! I don't always show the pain I carry, Nor speak of the tears I hide inside. I have learned to smile through broken moments, And keep my deepest feelings tucked away from sight. !!***!! There are days I still miss what we once had, The little things, the words, the dreams we knew. Sometimes I find myself visiting old memories, Wondering how something so beautiful could hurt so much too. !!***!! I still remember the promises we made, The future I imagined in my heart. I never thought the hands I held so dearly Would one day become the ones I had to part. !!***!! Sometimes I question my own heart, Wondering if I could have loved a little less, If I had spoken differently, held on differently, Or protected myself from so much tenderness. !!***!! But I am slowly learning something important: There is no shame in having loved too deeply. I was not foolish for believing in forever, Nor weak for wanting someone to choose me complete...

  I do not need to earn the right to breathe, Or fold my flaws to fit another's creed, To win the prize or serve a useful part, To claim the simple quiet of my heart. I am enough, just as my shadows fall, Unvarnished, tender, human through it all. !!***!! Let me look back  the roads I crossed, And thank the heavy winters for the frost, Yet drop the ancient weights I used to bear- The hollow rules, the whispers of despair. The past is holy ground, but not a cage; With clean, untroubled hands, I turn the page. !!***!! No more I wait for validation's sun, Or measure worth by battles lost or won; I love what was, yet loose its binding chain, And shape tomorrow from the calm and rain. !***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!Fourlinegraphia
