rehearsing the conversation you wish they had stayed for in the shower so the sound drowns out your own voice

The Light Has Already Risen

The water runs hot, and you are already speaking the words you wish they had stayed to hear. You rehearse the defense, the apology, the perfect ending that never came.

But the morning is here, quiet and new, waiting for you to step out of the steam. You do not need to fix yesterday before you can face today.

The light has already risen, not because you earned it, but because it always returns. It shines on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, guiding your feet into the path of peace.

Turn off the tap. The conversation is over.

The light is just beginning.
