The Light That Reads You
The book is closed on the table, and the silence in the room feels heavy enough to crush you. You remember when the words flowed like water, but now they sit like stones, foreign and cold.
You feel a quiet shame for staring at a cover you cannot bring yourself to open. But listen — the light does not need your fluency to shine.
It was there before you spoke a single word, and it remains when the language fails. The darkness has not overcome it.
You are not defined by what you can read tonight, but by what reads you. The light sees you in the quiet, and it calls you friend even when you have no words to offer.
