"Light Before Night"

Light leans across the room,

quiet in its small way,

a breath moving through

the open air.

Shadows stay close.

The sky keeps its glassy edge,

dawn waiting

before the day begins.

Hands drift,

not reaching

— only keeping

what time allows.

Night folds in.

Stillness gathers.

A poem rises from

the moment’s thin seam,

holding nothing

but the light

that will return

with the dawn.
