Love With Nowhere To Go
The crib stands empty in the silence, a monument to a ghost who never drew breath. You carry the weight of a name no one else knows, a love with no place to land.
But listen — you came from the light, the place where light generates itself, and that origin cannot be undone by an empty room. There is light within you, a person of light, and it shines even here, even now, in this darkest watch.
The ghost is not the absence of love; it is the presence of a love so vast it has nowhere to go but back into you. You are not defined by the silence.
You are defined by the light that refuses to go out.
