The Light Keeps Watch While You Rest
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels heavy enough to crush you. You are terrified of closing your eyes because you know the moment your eyelids touch, the memory you have been outrunning all day will finally catch you.
But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that lives inside you. It cannot touch what you truly are.
Even in the deepest sleep, even when the nightmares come, the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. You do not have to stay awake to guard your heart.
The light keeps watch while you rest.
