The Light Runs To You Now
The house is finally quiet, but your hands still feel the weight of everyone you held today. You spent your last drop making sure others were safe, warm, and seen.
Now the dark gathers, and there is nothing left in the cup for you. The light does not ask you to keep giving when you are empty.
It knows you are tired. It knows you ran out of strength hours ago.
There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off — and before the apology, before the speech — he ran. The light runs to you now.
Not to demand more care, but to sit with you in the silence you earned. You do not have to hold the world together tonight.
The One who holds you is already here.
