The Light Runs Toward Your Silence
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels heavy with the things you didn't say today. You wonder if your exhaustion made you distant, if your tiredness pushed the ones you love furthest away.
But listen — the light does not depend on your energy. It was there before you spoke, and it remains when you are still.
There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off, and before any apology could be formed, he ran. The light runs toward your silence.
It does not wait for you to be lively to be loved. You are not defined by the moments you withdraw.
The bond is deeper than your fatigue. The quiet is not an ending; it is simply the space where the light waits for you to rest.
