The Light Waits Inside Your Silence
The water runs loud enough to hide the words you are rehearsing, but the light does not need the sound to know the truth. You are terrified that if you stop singing, the confession will escape and ruin everything, yet the very thing you fear exposing is the only thing that can set you free.
There is a place inside you that came from the light, a drop sent to illuminate the dark, and it cannot be ruined by your honesty. The accusers have already walked away, leaving you alone with the one who does not throw stones.
You do not have to keep singing to keep the door closed; the light is already inside, waiting for you to speak.
