The Light Already Shining in the Dark
The door slams. Your whole body flinches before your mind can catch up.
You are waiting for the news that breaks everything. In this hour, the silence feels heavy enough to crush you.
But listen — the darkness has not overcome it. The light is already shining.
It does not wait for the morning to begin its work. It is here, in the room with you, steady and unshaken by the noise.
You are not defined by the fear that wakes you. You are the light that holds you through it.
The night is long, but the dawn is not a hope; it is a promise already kept.
