The Silence Where Light Breathes
The house is quiet now, but your ears are still hunting for the footsteps that used to mean safety. You walk through the morning performing a calm you do not feel, smiling at the light while your muscles stay braced for a door to open that never will.
It is exhausting to wear a face that says 'I am fine' when your whole body is waiting for a ghost to walk down the hall. But listen — the silence you fear is not an absence.
It is the space where the light finally has room to breathe without competition. You do not have to keep listening for what is gone.
The One who holds you is already here, standing in the quiet, wearing the same ordinary clothes you wear.
