The Quiet Between

Morning found the windows open,

Carrying a softer breeze.

Nothing asked for my attention,

Nothing begged for guarantees.

I watched the light move through the curtains,

Slowly tracing every wall.

For the first time in forever,

I didn't need to chase it all.

Every quiet breath reminds me,

Life was never meant to race.

Sometimes all we really need is A little room,

a little space.

In the quiet between heartbeats,

I can hear who I've become.

Not through all the noise I followed,

But the silence I came from.

Every pause becomes a promise,

Every stillness lets me see.

There is beauty in the moments Where there's nothing left to be.

Clouds drift slowly past the skyline,

Never worried where they'll go.

Maybe peace is simply trusting

What we cannot always know.

Every ordinary second

Now feels brighter than before.

I stopped waiting for a miracle— Life had already opened the door.

If tomorrow changes everything,

I'll still greet it with open hands.

Like the tide that meets the shoreline,

Never questioning where it lands.

Every ending leaves an echo,

Every echo leaves a light.

Even after all the growing,

There's still wonder left in life.

In the quiet between heartbeats,

I have finally found my home.

Not a place upon the map now,

But a peace I've always known.

Every breath becomes a blessing,

Every day a chance to start.

Sometimes silence speaks the loudest To a healing heart.

The morning keeps unfolding...

And so do I.
