Faint light

 The feeling with no name drifts like fog,
Silent, but heavy,


A pull from somewhere deep
Where words don’t reach.

It settles like a quiet ache,
Heavy in the chest,


A sadness too deep to cry for,
Only felt,


Like a wound you can’t explain.

It comes and goes, unbidden,

A shadow with no source,

Lingering in the spaces between breaths,


In the stillness after every sigh.

But even in this quiet place,


A flicker stirs, a gentle light,


Softly breaking through the haze,


Reminding me that even here,


Hope can still take root and rise.
