the shaking hands after finally stopping, terrified that the silence will reveal how hollow you feel inside

The Light Arrives To Fill You

The sun is up, but your hands are still shaking. You finally stopped the noise, stopped the running, and now the silence feels like a verdict.

It reveals a hollow space inside you that you are terrified to face in the light of this new day. But listen — the light did not arrive to expose your emptiness.

It arrived to fill it. There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off.

He did not wait for the speech. He ran.

Before the apology, before the explanation — he ran. That is how the morning meets you.

Not with an inventory of what you lack, but with arms wide open before you can even speak. The hollowness is not a sign that you are broken beyond repair.

It is simply the space where the light intends to live. You made it through the night.

Now let the dawn do what only the dawn can do.
