Luminous Haze

Morning comes soft through linen and glass

The room learns how to breathe again (ooh)

I place my hands on the table

And feel the day

arrive in pieces

A cup, a window,

a quiet street

Nothing asks me to hurry (ooh)

If the world is heavy

Let it rest beside the door

We can be gentle for a minute

Then gentle a little more (ahhhh)

Stay with the soft light

Stay with the warm air

Nothing has to be perfect

Only present, only here (ooh)

The garden keeps its patient language

Leaves turn silver at the edge

I hear the kettle,

distant rain

And choose the slower road (ooh)

There is kindness in the pause

A small lamp in the rain

I do not need to disappear

To become whole again (ahhhh)

Stay

with the soft light

Stay

with the warm air

Nothing has to be perfect

Only present, only here

(ooh, ooh)

When evening folds

across the ceiling

I will leave the window wide

For every careful breath we saved

For every gentle tide (ooh)

The room is still here

The light is still kind

We are allowed to be quiet (ooh)
