Whispers of a New Dawn

A gentle, hopeful poem about holding on through darkness and trusting that every dawn brings a chance to begin again.

Before the first faint light appears,
While shadows stretch and dreams still yawn,
The world is wrapped in quiet hope�"
A whispered promise just beyond.

You never know what dawn may bring,
So hold your hope, don’t let it fade.
Even darkest skies will break apart
Beneath the calm of silver moon.

Whispers of truth float on the breeze,
Breaking gently through the night,
Reminding souls that pain will pass,
And dawn will bring a softer light.

A seed grows deep when none can see,
A path unfolds beyond your view.
This quiet now is not the end�"
There’s more ahead than what you knew.

So rest, and carry hope within�"
A gentle flame that softly burns.
The world still turns; with morning’s light,
A kinder chapter soon returns.

Just to help, this silly site doesn't allow an Em dash, that's why it is showing question marks. The only solution is to use a space and three dashes followed by another space to represent an Em dash.
Hope that helps.

This is quietly powerful — like a lullaby for the heart. The imagery of “dreams still yawn” and “a gentle flame that softly burns” wraps the reader in warmth. It feels like a conversation between night and hope, reminding us that even the silent, unseen moments are full of purpose. There's such tenderness in the way it acknowledges pain without letting it win. It’s not just poetry — it’s comfort in words.

That means so much to me—thank you. 🌙
I’m really touched that you felt the warmth in it. I wanted it to be quiet but strong, like hope that doesn’t shout but never leaves. Your words feel like a hug for the poem. 💛
