  • If Nobody Has Told You Today — Uplifting Poem by Rowan Evans

    Rowan Evans

    Author’s Note

    Sometimes, we go through our days and no one tells us what we most need to hear. This poem is my gentle offering to you—the quiet reminder that your light, your strength, and your spirit matter. Read it, breathe it in, and carry it with you.

    Glowing star breaking through clouds at night, symbolizing hope and inner light.
    Even in darkness, your light shines. — Rowan Evans

    Invocation

    Before you read, pause. Close your eyes if you can. Let these words meet you where you are—tired, unsure, or overwhelmed. Let them remind you of the worth and brilliance you may have forgotten to see in yourself today.

    If Nobody Has Told You Today
    Poetry by Rowan Evans

    If nobody has told you today—
    You are worthy, a radiant star,
    A beauty wrapped in quiet strength,
    Your light flickering softly, yet bright,
    Illuminating the shadows that dare to loom.

    If nobody has whispered in your ear—
    You are not a burden,
    But a gentle weight on the world,
    A melody woven into the fabric of existence,
    Harmonizing with the sighs of the universe.

    If nobody has taken a moment to see—
    You are beautiful,
    In ways that words may falter to capture,
    Each imperfection a stroke of artistry,
    A unique brush stroke on the canvas of life.

    If nobody has reminded you lately—
    You deserve to be loved fiercely,
    In the ways you’ve dreamed beneath starlit skies,
    With a tenderness that ignites your soul,
    And a passion that wraps around you like a warm embrace.

    If nobody has echoed the truth today—
    Keep your chin up, dear heart,
    For the storms that may howl outside
    Cannot touch the fortress you are building within.
    Rise above the chaos, dance in the rain,
    And know the sun will always return.

    If nobody has taken the time to say—
    I am proud of you, just for being you,
    For the battles you fight behind closed doors,
    For the strength that courses through your veins.
    You are a warrior, a dreamer, a light in the dark.

    So if nobody has told you today—
    Hear me now, in the stillness of this moment:
    You are worthy, you are enough,
    And your spirit is a flame
    That cannot be extinguished,
    A beautiful symphony that the world needs to hear.

    Benediction

    May these words stay with you, a flame against doubt.
    May your heart feel seen, your spirit steady,
    And your soul rise in quiet strength.

  • You’re Not Alone | Rowan Evans — A Poetic Promise of Hope & Support

    Rowan Evans

    🌒 Invocation
    For the Wounded and Weary

    Come, you who ache quietly,
    you who carry grief like a second skin.
    Enter this space —
    not to be fixed,
    but to be witnessed.
    This is not a cure,
    but a candle.
    Let it flicker for you.

    Pastel sunrise breaking through grey clouds over a misty landscape, symbolizing hope and solace.
    Hope shines brightest through the darkest clouds — ‘You’re Not Alone,’ a poem by Rowan Evans.

    You’re Not Alone
    Poetry by Rowan Evans

    In the pastel shades of a world painted grey,
    I see you standing, lost, in the fray.
    When the weight of your sorrow feels too much to bear,
    Know I’m here with you, always, I swear.

    Through the storms that rage, the endless rain,
    When your heart feels heavy, suffocated by pain,
    I’ll be your shelter, your place to rest,
    When you feel you’ve given all, I’ll give my best.

    You’re not alone in this shadowed night,
    Together we’ll chase away the fear, ignite the light.
    For every tear that falls, I’ll catch it in my hand,
    And plant a seed of hope where despair used to stand.

    When the world feels too sharp, too jagged to touch,
    And even breathing feels like asking too much,
    Know that I’m here, a whisper, a friend,
    A quiet presence with an ear to lend.

    I’ll shoulder your pain, take some of the load,
    Walk beside you on this harrowing road.
    When the clouds seem too thick and the sun’s lost its glow,
    Remember my voice, my promise: you’re not alone.

    In the darkest hours when your soul feels small,
    I’ll be in your corner, catch you when you fall.
    For even when you feel you’re at the end of your fight,
    I’ll be the flame that rekindles your light.

    So, lean on me, friend, and trust in this bond,
    We’ll walk through the rain, from dusk until dawn.
    Together, we’ll face whatever may come,
    You’re not alone—you’re never on your own.

    🌓 Benediction
    For the Ones Still Holding On

    Go now with the knowing:
    You are not too much.
    You are not too broken.
    You are not alone.
    And even when your hands shake,
    you are still worthy of being held.
    Let the poem walk with you awhile.
