Where Life Stands

It took me a while to notice
Life was already happening

Sun through glass, slow and warm
Street sounds settling in
Nothing loud, nothing torn
Just the day beginning

Steps align with breath and time
Minutes lose their edge
Every small thing draws a line
Right where I can stand

No hands pulling forward
No weight asking why

This is where life lands
Soft, awake, and clear
No plans in my hands
Nothing left to fear
Still moving, still here
On steady ground
This is where life lands

Coffee rings on the table
Old song playing low
Moments don't need labels
Just to let me know

Windows open, light comes in
Air feels honest now
Nothing waiting to begin
It already knows how

No voice telling me who to be
No fear of quiet days

This is where life lands
Calm without a frame
No crown, no commands
No one left to blame
Still breathing, still sound
Feet on the ground
This is where life lands

Not alone
Just unowned
Nothing owed
Nothing gone

This is where life lands
Clear and unafraid
Open, steady hands
Choice already made
No return, no demand
I understand
This is where life lands
