Where Light Begins

I was walking through the silence Carrying the weight of unseen days Every step an echo Fading into grey There was a quiet question Hiding in my chest Is there something brighter Beyond this restless breath? ... Then a spark beneath the surface Like a whisper in the dark Not a shout, not a promise Just a small and beating heart ... This is where the light begins In the cracks beneath our skin In the breaking, in the bending We are born again This is where the light begins Not in perfect, flawless wings But in trembling hands still reaching Through everything ... Every tear a river Every scar a map Every loss a doorway We were meant to pass I can feel it rising Like the turning tide Not a storm to fear now But a fire inside ... Hold on Even if your voice shakes Hold on Even if the ground breaks We are not the silence We are not the fall We are the horizon After it all ... This is where the light begins In the shadows pulling thin In the chaos, in the calling We are listening This is where the light begins In the courage to give in To the love that keeps on breathing Deep within ... Light begins Light begins Here within
