Sunlit Silk

In the dim light of the hospital room,

a new day began with the first cry,

and time seemed to pause,

a heartbeat stretched across eternity.

She emerged, a fragile miracle,

her hair was like twirled silk dipped in sunlight,

a cascade of gold that caught the morning’s promise.

The world outside was a blur of sterile white,

but in her eyes, I saw a universe untamed,

a cosmos untouched by the shadows

that had long clouded my own.

Her tiny fingers, delicate as whispers,

grasped at the air, reaching for the unknown.

I watched as she breathed in the essence of dawn,

her small form curled in a cocoon of warmth,

each breath a soft testament to the gift of life.

In those moments, a profound silence settled,

a space where the weight of my own darkness

was lifted, if only for a breath.

Her presence was a lighthouse,

guiding me through the fog of my own fears,

a beacon of clarity in a sea of doubts.

She did not save me with words,

but with her very being,

with the unspoken promise of renewal.

In the silent communion of her gaze,

I discovered a mirror,

reflecting not the fragments of a broken self,

but the potential for wholeness,

the promise of a new beginning.

Her arrival marked a new dawn,

a shift from the shadows of self-estrangement

to the radiant embrace of hope.

And as I held her, cradling the dawn in my arms,

I felt the intricate threads of my own soul

woven anew in the sunlit silk of her existence.

Her life was a canvas, unblemished and pure,

and in her gaze, I found my way back to myself.
