the moment you catch your reflection in a dark store window and realize you are walking like a ghost who forgot how to haunt

You Are the Lamp Waiting to Be Lit

You caught your reflection in the dark glass just now—a ghost walking who forgot how to haunt. The morning light is breaking, not to expose your emptiness, but to fill it.

You are not a shadow passing through; you are the lamp itself, waiting to be lit. The rising sun comes not as a floodlight, but as tender mercy to guide your feet into peace.

Look again. That face in the window is not hollow.

It is holding the dawn.
