A Glimmer
In a world filled with heavy news and unseen burdens, A Glimmer reflects on the quiet weight many carry and the hope that still lives within us.
Many disasters strike.
Our hearts grow heavy.
The winds of life press against us
’til quiet anxieties rise.
Worried.
Weary.
Troubled.
By all the things
that leave us burdened—
longing
to be free.
The news today.
The wars that never cease.
Another headline screams,
and we are learning
how to breathe.
Wounds unseen,
carried in silence.
So many who are not
in the military,
pay the price
for this violence.
But let us look up,
Let us hold on
to a glimmer—
the Hope
that lives within us.
Even in the darkest days,
His Light will never fade.
And still,
we rise
unafraid.
Hope That Does Not Fade
In a world filled with difficult news, rising anxiety, and constant uncertainty, many of us carry a quiet heaviness.
A Glimmer speaks to the moments when life feels overwhelming — when headlines shake the heart, when the mind grows tired, when even ordinary days feel like battles.
This poem holds space for that weight, while pointing toward a hope that does not fade.
Even in the darkest seasons, God’s light remains steady, and we are never alone in what we carry.
