Where the Light Rests

Morning light on quiet skin

A day about to begin

Curtains dancing in the breeze

Dust like tiny galaxies

Coffee warming fragile hands

Nothing here is out of place

Your voice still inside the room

Like a soft and distant tune

Every second slow and kind

Leaving silver lines

We don’t have to speak too much

Every glance is just enough

In the stillness we confess

Without saying yes

Where the light rests on your face

Time begins to slow

Every fragile little thought

Starts to gently glow

If the world is rushing past

Let it fade away

In this quiet afterglow

We are safe to stay

Where the light rests

I remain

Footsteps echo down the hall

Shadows lean against the wall

Outside, clouds are drifting wide

But we don’t need to hide

Your laughter barely there

Like perfume inside the air

Not a promise, not a claim

Still it feels the same

Nothing loud or overflowing

Just a subtle knowing

Like a tide that doesn’t show

But always flows

Where the light rests on your face

Everything feels true

All the tiny broken parts

Shine because of you

Even if the seasons turn

And we rearrange

There’s a warmth that will not fade

Even when we change

Where the light rests

Love remains

We were never made of fire

Not a sudden, wild desire

More like dusk becoming night

Soft and right

Even when the sky grows gray

Even if we drift away

There’s a glow we always knew

In the blue

Where the light rests on your face

I can finally breathe

All the words I couldn’t say

Fall beneath my feet

If tomorrow takes us far

Under different skies

There will always be this place

Reflected in your eyes

Where the light rests

We survive

Morning light on quiet skin

And everything begins
