Held in a Knowing Deeper Than Memory
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels like proof that you are already gone. You sit in the gathering dark, convinced that the people you love have moved on while you are still breathing.
But there is a voice that knows you before you speak, and it does not forget. The light does not wait for you to be useful or visible to stay close.
It is not afraid of your silence. It is not deterred by your absence from the room.
You are not forgotten. You are held in a knowing that is deeper than any human memory.
The darkness may gather, but it cannot erase the name written on your heart.
