From Nothingness to Light
When the relentless night descends,
do not despair of the sky;
for from the dark clouds, whiteness drips,
and from the grief of rain, hope arrives.
Fall like rain from the blackened clouds,
bring forth brightness from patient darkness.
Do not lose hope—keep moving forward,
even if a thorn pierces your heart.
Wherever you go, let flowers bloom with color and scent,
let the garden of the world flourish with dignity.
Your battle is with unknowing,
and defeat comes only through ignorance.
