The Light Lives in the Quiet Spaces
The sun has dipped below the line, and the house is quiet enough to hear your own heartbeat. You are scrolling back through words that used to be a home, searching for a voice that no longer answers.
The silence feels heavy now, a weight you carry into the evening. But listen — the light does not speak only through the voices that have left you.
It shines in the quiet spaces between the words you are reading right now. You are not abandoned in this silence; you are being held by something that does not need to type to be present.
The voice you miss was real, but it was never the only source of love in your life. The light that lived in those messages lives in you still, untouched by the distance.
You do not have to keep digging in the dust to find warmth. Close the screen.
Breathe. The One who sees what is done in secret is already sitting with you in the dark.
