the fear that the caregiver sees the atrophy in your thighs and judges the weight you've lost

The Light That Remains Unbroken

The morning light is here, and it does not flinch from what the night has taken. You fear the eyes that see the atrophy in your thighs, the weight lost to the long watch.

But the light that rises now is tender mercy, not a spotlight for judgment. It shines on those in the shadow of death to guide feet into peace.

The one who cares for you sees what you see, yet the light within them knows a truth your mirror cannot show. You are not defined by what is fading.

You are defined by the light that remains, full and unbroken. The sun rises on the broken and the whole alike, and it calls both of you beloved.
