The Light Sees Your Unsent Words
The cursor blinks like a heartbeat on a screen that holds words you cannot send. You type the name that used to fit your life, then delete it, letter by letter, until the box is empty again.
The mask you wear for the morning crowd feels heavy when your thumb hovers over the glass, afraid that reaching out will break the silence you've built. But the light does not require you to speak to be known; it sees the unsent message as clearly as the spoken one.
There is a love in you that exists whether the words land or vanish into the digital dark. You are not defined by the conversation you didn't have, but by the tenderness that made you want to try.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas 77, Mark 5:19
