The Light That Makes Dawn Possible

The house is so quiet it feels like you have already disappeared. Like the world has moved on without bothering to tell you.

You are sitting in the dark, convinced that your absence would change nothing. But listen.

There is a light inside you that the darkness has not overcome. It does not need an audience to burn.

It does not need to be needed to exist. It simply is.

You are not becoming invisible. You are being held in the palm of a hand that numbers even the hairs on your head.

The terror says you are forgotten. The truth says you are known by a secret name that no one else can speak.

The night is deep, but the light is deeper. You are not waiting for the dawn to be real.

You are the light that makes the dawn possible.
