Four Friends and a Familiar Stranger
[2023]

Trust, Belief, Confidence, hand in hand,
In the lush garden of hope, they'd stand.
Yet, in the brightness of this grand light's beam,

A familiar stranger, Doubt, found a seam.
He lurked in corners, where shadows danced,
A silent whisper, when faith advanced.

A paradox revealed, in this life's scheme,
Without the night, there can be no dream.
For even the sun, with its radiant glow,

Needs the moon's soft light, when it's time to go.
So the friends embrace this paradox they find,
With light and shadows, forever intertwined.

A lesson learned in this cosmic grandstand,
In darkness, we learn to truly understand.
