Daylight was breaking fragile at its seams
A trembling light too weak to fuel its beams
I walked in half-awake and hollow dreams
Believing hope was smaller than it seems
But then your shadow reached across my own
A silhouette of love I’d never known
It shielded me from storms I couldn’t hone
And built a calm from seeds you hadn’t sown
Your presence shaped the sunlight into form
A brilliance sheltered from the creeping storm
It held the day in something brave and warm
And taught the dark a gentler kind of norm
So walk with me when dawn begins to sway
When clouds invade and colors turn to gray
For in your shadow light will always stay—
And every trembling dawn becomes a day
