The Light That Never Blinks
The day is ending, and the room is quiet enough to hear the echo of that one second. You saw the glance at the clock.
You felt the shift in the air. And now, in the gathering dark, you are measuring your entire worth against that split second of impatience.
But the light does not keep a ledger of your stumbles. It does not weigh your value against a fleeting moment of human fatigue.
There is a truth that lives in you, deeper than the judgment you feel right now — a truth that says you are held even when the clock moves too fast. The darkness has not overcome it.
The light was there before the glance, and it is still here now, unchanged by the time on the wall. You are not defined by the moment they looked away.
You are defined by the light that never blinks.
