Oct 9
when i look at you,
the world softens,
as if everything around us
was made to frame your light.

there’s a quiet peace
in the way you move through life,
a gentle hum that steadies me.

storms may come,
and time may lay its hands
on our skin,
but i find no fear in what’s ahead,
because every breath,
every glance,
ties me deeper into you.

i have wandered before,
adrift in places without meaning,
but now,
with your love, i am grounded
rooted in the soil of your kindness,
wrapped in the warmth of your gaze.

no wind can carry me away,
for i am planted here,
growing toward the sun
that shines in your heart.

let the seasons change,
let the years whisper softly away
you will always be
my home.
