Morning slips through the curtains slow Pink light breathing on the floor Every sound is learning how To be more than it was before Cups ring once, then fade away A bird forgets its line I catch a note I almost missed Hanging just behind the time Hold it lightly Don’t explain Let it tremble Let it remain This is a song that doesn’t need To rise above or prove a thing It moves like water, warm and small It knows the cracks, it fills them all No one’s calling out a name Still the heart remembers flame This is a song that softly knows Where to land And where to glow Footsteps echo, then they learn How to walk without a sound Every breath becomes a door Opening inward, not around Hands don’t reach for what they hold They trust the air instead What is sung is almost gone Before it’s fully said Leave the space Between the lines That’s where yours Meets with mine This is a song that doesn’t chase It stays inside the open space It bends, it sways, it shimmers through What we thought we already knew No applause, no final cue Just a truth that hums in you This is a song that softly knows How to stay And how to go If it breaks, let it break If it fades, let it fade Some things shine the longest When they’re barely played Count the silence, not the sound That’s where the beat is found This is a song we didn’t make It was waiting to awake Every loss becomes a seam Every ending learns to lean When the last note disappears It’s still ringing in the years This is a song that never shouts It stays It stays Mm Still breathing Mm Still here.
