Theme: Finding direction through love.
Every shadow passed beyond me,
Footsteps echo as they cross.
My blurred vision of the world spins on,
Turning hazily until I meet my dawn.
In oceans full of silhouettes,
Stands the sun—unwavering, she shines.
Gleaming in the rays, undefeated by clouds,
A beacon of sunshine, I call mine.
And then, our gazes met one another—
Who knew the sun could shine brighter?
With a smile I know is made for me,
I forget to wonder and simply believe
Everything surrounding carries no weight.
In that moment, a promise glowed from fate.
The apple of my eye took gentle shape—
Of love that seals our endless state.
In the midst of uncertainties,
You drew a clear path for me,
Leading to you with all certainty—
With the vow of the sun, we're meant to be.
The shadows may dance, the doubts may roam,
But to your warmth, I’ve found my way home.
No need for a map or a star above—
My vision is clearer with you, my love.

Theme: The fleeting yet unforgettable nature of uniqueness.
Amidst a sea of crimson bloom,
A single light defies the gloom.
Its petals burn, a golden hue,
A tale of one against the view.
The wind that whispers, soft yet stern,
Speaks tales of those who dared to yearn.
Yet here it stands, alone, unbowed,
A beacon bright amidst the crowd.
It sways while others stand in line,
A rhythm, bold, its own design.
The thorns may mock, the roots may chide,
Yet still, it glows, untouched by the tide.
The dusk may steal the fleeting gleam,
Like echoes lost within a dream.
But a light, once born, will never cease—
Its ember lingers, whispering peace.
Oh, fleeting glow, will time be kind?
Or shall you fade, by fate confined?
Yet even if your light should wane,
The sky once knew your fire's reign.
