The Hurt In Line

The day comes in slow

Like silk through a narrow frame

Your footsteps map the floor

And the room starts naming you

A calm line in the static

A lantern in the rain

You turn the heavy hours

Into something I can breathe

And every sharp edge softens

When your shadow leans near

The hard rules bend their backs

In the hush of your sphere

A silver thread in motion

Pulls the worry from the seam

Then the whole wide world grows gentle

Like a hymn inside a dream

Stay in this velvet tide

Stay in this velvet tide

The rough parts fade away

When you let the silence ride

Stay in this velvet tide

Stay in this velvet tide

Soft as a borrowed sky

That keeps the hurt in line

The hour wears a golden coat

Across the corner stone

Tea-colored windows bloom

With a million hidden tones

Your laugh cuts through the weight

Like rain on thirsty ground

Even the restless corners

Find a way to settle down

And every sharp edge softens

When your shadow leans near

The hard rules bend their backs

In the hush of your sphere

A silver thread in motion

Pulls the worry from the seam

Then the whole wide world grows gentle

Like a hymn inside a dream

Stay in this velvet tide

Stay in this velvet tide

The rough parts fade away

When you let the silence ride

Stay in this velvet tide

Stay in this velvet tide

Soft as a borrowed sky

That keeps the hurt in line

The workday claws for speed

But your calm rewrites the pace

A patient kind of fire

Paints a kinder face

When the deadlines start to bark

And the edges all grow loud

You are the quiet current

Moving under every cloud

Even the small mistakes

Lose their teeth and lose their names

In the amber wash of time

Everything returns unchanged

Not because it never cracked

Not because it never fell

But because a softer chamber

Can make the shattered cells

And every sharp edge softens

When your shadow leans near

The hard rules bend their backs

In the hush of your sphere

A silver thread in motion

Pulls the worry from the seam

Then the whole wide world grows gentle

Like a hymn inside a dream

Stay in this velvet tide

Stay in this velvet tide

The rough parts fade away

When you let the silence ride

Stay in this velvet tide

Stay in this velvet tide

Soft as a borrowed sky

That keeps the hurt in line

If the road turns iron

If the morning comes unkind

If the room forgets its mercy

And the clocks all lose their minds

Your name is a soft horizon

Where the storm begins to thin

A patient kind of shelter

That opens up again

So let the long night loosen

Let the tired shapes unwind

Let the hidden light move closer

To the quiet in your spine

No rush, no hard commandments

Just the slow returning glow

A river under language

That only hearts can know

Stay in this velvet tide

Stay in this velvet tide

The rough parts fade away

When you let the silence ride

Stay in this velvet tide

Stay in this velvet tide

Soft as a borrowed sky

That keeps the hurt in line

Stay in this velvet tide

Stay in this velvet tide

Every broken edge grows kind

Every shadow learns to slide

Stay in this velvet tide

Stay in this velvet tide

A healing shape of sound

For the long road inside

And when the day goes dim

Let the soft current stay

A velvet tide remains

And carries all away
