No Hidden Invoice in the Dawn

The morning light is here, and with it comes the quiet terror that their kindness is just a mask for a resentment they are too good to show. You watch them move through the kitchen, pouring coffee, and you wait for the crack in the veneer.

But the light that rises now does not check your ledger before it shines. It simply arrives.

It touches the face of the one you fear, and it touches yours, with the same gentle insistence. There is no hidden invoice in the dawn.

No secret anger in the rays that warm your hands. The light sees what is there, and it calls it good.

You do not have to solve the mystery of their heart today. You only have to receive the morning they are both standing in.
