The Light Hears the Unsaid
The sentence rises in your throat, but you swallow it whole before it reaches your lips. You remember that the language you speak—the language of your pain, your need, your true self—is no longer understood by the ones you love.
So you stay silent. The silence in this hour is heavy, a thick wall between you and everyone else.
But you are not alone in this quiet. There is a Listener who does not need your words to know your heart.
The light that lives inside you was there before you ever learned to speak, and it will be there when the words fail. It does not require translation.
It does not require an audience that understands. You can stop performing clarity.
You can let the sentence die unfinished. The light hears the unsaid thing louder than the spoken one.
