The Light Waits Warm Within Silence

The sun has gone down, and with it, the noise that kept you moving. Now the house is quiet, and you feel it—that sudden coldness in your chest.

You realize you stopped crying months ago, and now you are afraid you have forgotten how to feel anything real. That the light inside you has gone numb.

But listen. The darkness gathering outside cannot extinguish what lives within.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. It does not need your tears to prove it is there.

It does not need your grief to validate its presence. It simply is.

Waiting. Warm.

Unbroken. You are not empty because you are quiet.

You are held even in the silence. The numbness is not the end of your story; it is just the night before the dawn.

The light is still there, breathing for you when you cannot breathe for yourself. It has not forgotten how to feel, even if you have.
