Each thought,
fleeting or devout, leaves its trace—
Of how we move
In their presence, the universe acquires form;
in their absence, it dissolves into abstraction.
An echo of what has lingered long enough to define our gaze.
all light returns.
My silence bends,
the storm that kneels.
Each pulse—
a hymn,
no distance run,
before the word,
the spoken sun.
Each thought—
a spark
of faith, concrete—
the death,
the sea
of you and me.
#WhatNeverWas
#WillNeverBe
Lord, this morning my heart is heavy for every soul walking through pain, suffering, struggle, or without a place to call home. 💔

hammer with intent,
the architecture of “I.”
Masks—
painted in charm,
fear,
desire,
or duty—
the echo inside the labyrinth of self-deception—
fades as the masks fall,
through the gentleness of truth.
