The Light That Does Not Blink
The dream said you failed. It whispered that your watch was not enough, that the breath you guard could slip away if you blinked.
So you wake. You hover a hand over the chest of the one you love, waiting for the rise, the fall, the proof that they are still here.
The fear is a heavy thing in the quiet dark. But listen — there is a love that watches even when you sleep.
A love that does not dream of failure because it cannot fail. You are not the only guard on this wall.
The light that holds you both is awake, and it is gentle, and it does not blink. Lay your hand down.
The watching is shared.

Matthew 26:38-39, Mark 5:19
