Pale gold slipping on the tiles
Soft glow stretching for a while
Corners lit in gentle lines
Shadows thinning out their signs
Every flicker starts to climb
Breaking out of muted time
Faint at first, then growing wide
Something rising from inside
Brighter filling up my view
Shining through in something new
Every second lifts me higher
Caught inside a growing fire
Brighter echo in my chest
Turning quiet into crest
All the dim begins to fade
I’m aligned with Brighter
Reflections bloom across the glass
Fading dullness as I pass
Silver edges turn to gold
Warming everything they hold
No more low or sinking tone
Every shade begins to glow
Layer after layer breaks
Opening with every step
Brighter filling up my view
Shining through in something new
Every second lifts me higher
Caught inside a growing fire
Brighter echo in my chest
Turning quiet into crest
All the dim begins to fade
I’m aligned with Brighter
Rising past the quiet phase
Filling up the hollow space
No more dim to pull me back
Light expanding off the track
Brighter breaking every line
Turning motion into shine
Every fragment starts to flare
Burning vivid in the air
Brighter stretching out the frame
Nothing left that looks the same
All the glow begins to spread
Lighting paths I’ve never read
