Held When the Cradle Is Empty
The screen lights up with another announcement, another life beginning, while your arms feel heavy with the space no one is filling. Night gathers around you, turning the silence of the room into a question you are too tired to answer.
You watch the world grow while you stay the same, and the ache of being left behind settles deep in your bones. But there is a love that does not depend on what you hold or what you have yet to receive.
The light is not absent just because the cradle is empty. It is here, in this quiet hour, holding you with a tenderness that needs no proof.
You are not waiting to become whole. You are already held.
