The evening scattered light across the floor
A fractured glow I couldn’t piece anymore
It flickered faint like hopes I held before
Too wearied now to rise or to restore
Then came your breath—so warm upon the air
It summoned wayward glimmers everywhere
The pieces floated back from dark despair
And formed a glow too radiant to bear
Your presence gathered light from where it fell
It healed the parts I never learned to tell
The room grew bright beneath your quiet spell
A sanctuary rising from a shell
So breathe with me when night begins to fall
When broken light dissolves against the wall
For in your breath the lost returns to call—
And shattered dawn remembers how to thrall
