The Lighthouse Between the Tides

A refuge at the edge of the light

A lighthouse no chart shows, reachable only when everything falls silent. Inside, the light does not dazzle: it brushes the round walls like a warm current and climbs the stairs with you.

The body notices how sweet it is to stay, to listen to its own silence, to let every fear flow away like water through the hands.
