The Light Shines In The Cracks
The house is quiet now, but your mind is replaying the room. You hear the slight tremor in your voice again.
You are convinced that everyone heard it too. That they looked at you and knew: fraud.
The mask slipped. The shaking gave you away.
But listen — the light was in that room with you. It does not hide when you tremble.
It shines brighter in the cracks. There is a love that casts out fear, not because the fear isn't real, but because the love is deeper.
You are not defined by the shake. You are defined by the light that holds you through it.
The tremor did not make you a fraud. It made you human.
And the light loves humans.
