_Crowded foresight_ —         thoughts stacked sky-high,        cluttered windows of a dreaming mind.                 Out of mind,              out of sight…        yet somehow, I keep seeing        the better days of my life          skimming the edge           of a hopeful smile.                    That smile —             soft, unspoken —              given with time,           drawn from deep thoughts               folded in silence.                       . . .            Any life worth seeing —          any __better__ version of me —       is shaped by what I’m willing             to put light on.                  So I               paint my          foresight with      fireflies  and  sunbeams,        hoping the dark             makes room                for the               light I                  keep.

What I Put Light On
_Crowded foresight_ —         thoughts stacked sky-high,        cluttered windows of a dreaming mind.                 Out of mind,              out of sight…        yet somehow, I keep seeing        the better days of my life          skimming the edge           of a hopeful smile.                    That smile —             soft, unspoken —              given with time,           drawn from deep thoughts               folded in silence.                       . . .            Any life worth seeing —          any __better__ version of me —       is shaped by what I’m willing             to put light on.                  So I               paint my          foresight with      fireflies  and  sunbeams,        hoping the dark             makes room                for the               light I                  keep.
