Safe in the Watch of the Night
The house is quiet, but your heart is racing because you said one thing while holding another. You are waiting for the moment the mask slips, for the ordinary conversation to turn into the exposure you fear.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Your secret is not a flaw that pushes the light away; it is simply part of the shadow where the light is already working.
There is a name written on a white stone, known only to you and to God. No one else can read it.
No one else needs to. The light knows you fully and does not turn away.
You are safe in the watch of the night.
