A Place Where the Heart Rests

The morning light
while still gently holding the remnants of dreams
opens its wings of silence
and descends into the corner of the room

That light
as if offering time
where there is no need to rush
wraps the world in soft colors

When a small wave
begins to sway deep within my chest
a gentle breeze visits from afar
and without a word
stays close, telling me it is okay to rest here

Wishes that could not be put into words
and feelings left behind
just as they are
find a warm place to belong

Each time I take a deep breath
a sense of release spreads deep in my chest
and the warmth dwelling in my palms
gently embraces who I am today

Even on days when I cannot keep pace with others
or when the future looks hazy
I can just be who I am right now
and stay there quietly

Outside the window
the wind shakes the leaves of the trees
slowly carving out a path
and that sound reaches deep into my heart
reminding me how to breathe gently

Small happinesses
stay by my side even without being called
and the moment I notice them
they light a single soft flame
that light
quietly melts away the shadows
of the feelings that blame myself

And
since tomorrow's wind is born in tomorrow's sky
for now
I just need to
gently embrace the place where my heart rests

That place
is not something created by someone else
but breathes quietly within you
and whenever you try to touch it
it opens up softly
