Quiet hands
<p><br/></p><p>I used to count my worries </p><p>like coins in a tired palm, </p><p>spend them all on tomorrows </p><p>that never came to call. </p><p>I bargained with the midnight, </p><p>traded sleep for "what ifs" and "maybes", </p><p>until my chest felt heavy </p><p>with all the lives I’d never live.</p><p><br/></p><p>But today the rain wrote softer </p><p>on the roof above my head. </p><p>It didn’t ask me to be ready, </p><p>or to have answers, or to be ahead. </p><p>It just fell, steady and patient, </p><p>washing the windows of my mind, </p><p>and I let the small things stay small </p><p>instead of making them lead.</p><p><br/></p><p>Give me mornings without proving, </p><p>no lists, no rush, no borrowed pride. </p><p>Give me evenings that don’t need a speech, </p><p>just silence that sits by my side. </p><p>Give me a cup gone warm in my hands, </p><p>a window with light leaning in, </p><p>and a heartbeat that’s finally within reach — </p><p>quiet, steady, and mine again.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m learning that peace isn’t loud. </p><p>It doesn’t announce itself or demand a crown. </p><p>It’s in the pause between two thoughts, </p><p>in letting the world turn without me for a while, </p><p>and finding I’m still here when it does</p>
