Resting in the Unspoken Silence
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the doctor's pause. You are replaying that silence, searching your own memory for the words they didn't say, terrified that the unspoken is heavier than the spoken.
But the light does not speak in riddles, and it does not hide the truth in what was left unsaid. That same light was in the room with you — it heard every heartbeat, it saw every flicker of eyes, and it knows exactly what was meant.
You do not have to solve the silence tonight. The gathering dark cannot extinguish the life that is already within you.
Rest now, not because you have figured it out, but because you are held even in the not-knowing.
