The Dawn Breaks Without Permission
The sun is rising, painting the sky in colors that do not care about your silence. You feel the phantom vibration again—that ghost of a buzz in your pocket where no message exists.
Your mind begins to write the story of why they haven't called, building a case against you out of thin air and quiet hours. But the light does not speak in notifications, and it does not withdraw when the screen stays dark.
The rising sun proves that connection does not depend on your ability to make it happen. You are held even in the quiet.
The dawn breaks without your permission, and it breaks for you anyway.
Drawing from
Matthew, Luke
