The Light Does Not Sleep
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels like a test. You are afraid that if you finally lie down, if you stop holding the walls up with your own two hands, everything you love will crumble in the dark.
But listen — the light does not sleep, and it does not need your panic to stay awake. There is a peace that is not like the world's peace, a stillness that holds what you cannot.
You were never meant to be the foundation. The light that shines in the darkness has not been overcome, and it does not falter when your eyes close.
Lay the burden down. The morning will find you still held.
