The Light That Holds Your Shaking Hands
The word has left your mouth, and now your hands are shaking in the quiet. You said 'no,' and the silence that followed feels less like peace and more like the beginning of being forgotten.
You wait for the other shoe to drop, for the abandonment you are certain is coming. But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that spoke through you.
That same light does not leave when the noise stops. It stays.
It is the very ground you are standing on while you tremble. You are not alone in this quiet; the light is the silence itself, holding you up when your own strength gives out.
The shaking is not the end of the story; it is the feeling of chains falling off.
