Mercy Sitting With Your Silence

The sun has gone down, and now the room is full of the things you did not say. The silence you kept feels heavier than the words you swallowed.

You are replaying every moment you stayed still when your heart wanted to reach out. But notice what the light does in the quiet.

It does not scold you for the silence. It does not demand a speech to make up for lost time.

In the gathering dark, the light is not asking for your performance. It is simply sitting with you in the regret.

There is a mercy that sees the closed hand and calls it beloved anyway. You do not have to fix the past tonight.

You only have to let the light hold the weight of what you left unsaid. The silence was not the end of your story.

It was just the space where the light waited for you to breathe again.
