You Are Held By The Light

The house is quiet now, and the silence feels heavy enough to crush you. You have checked inside yourself again and again, searching for a spark, a glow, anything that proves the light is still there.

But all you find is ash. It feels as though the flame has been snuffed out, leaving you alone in the cold.

The truth is not that the light has left you. It is that you have forgotten how to see in the dark.

The darkness has not overcome it. The light you are looking for is not a feeling you generate.

It is the very ground you are standing on. You do not need to reignite what cannot be extinguished.

You only need to stop trying to be the fire. The light is not something you hold.

It is what holds you.
