Whispering softly into the dark of night
as a way to bring about hopeful light,
and through the willingness to persevere
while developing a purpose for being here,
the glory of the golden sun
could inspire a person
to truly become someone
even when all has been said and done,
for the willpower to carry on
can be more powerful
than the break of dawn,
and by realizing how
to use the power of now,
the present moment
would be the perfect time
to use today
as a day to reflect
in more ways
than anyone would ever expect
until the final bow
