The Soft Unfurling

When the arguments grow tired,
And the need for answers fades,
When the evening softly settles,
And the noise of day gives way.

Lay your armour by the doorway,
Let the restless questions cease,
There are moments beyond reason,
There are places built on peace.

You walk toward a quiet flame,
Letting awkwardness unwind,
Gentle gestures, unspoken meanings,
Leaving heavier things behind.

Where no mask is left to shelter,
Where no role remains to play,
Only who we are beneath them
In the softness of the day.

Love with simplicity beside us,
Boundless as the open sky,
Not a promise to be captured,
Not a dream we need to tie.

When the light repairs the shadows,
And the branches breathe again,
Something tender keeps unfolding,
Like the coming of the rain.

The smoke of battles fought with ink,
Still lingers in the air tonight.
They see calmness in my silence,
Yet my heart still burns with light.

Don't leave me outside looking in,
Don't let words become a wall.
There are truths beyond explaining,
There are moments beyond it all.

Remove the lens from weary eyes,
The word for word from every line.
Leave behind the need to measure,
Leave behind the need to define.

Nothing left to understand.
Only this: I choose you.
And I choose to stay.
