Moonlit Thaw

Moonlight sifts through the blinds like broken glass, I trace the quiet corners where the cold used to last Slow dreams at midnight, street noise low, You’re not here yet, but the room begins to know I’m softened at the edges, ready for the light, A little less afraid of the coming night If somebody wanders through this hush and holds, I’ll answer with a heart turned from lead to gold Rust at the doorway, dust on the floor, Old shadows keep the shapes of things I wore I unpack small truths from the bottom dust bin, Leave the heavier pieces where the dark has been I’m softened at the edges, ready for the light, A little less afraid of the coming night If somebody wanders through this hush and holds, I’ll answer with a heart turned from lead to gold There’s a thaw in the moonlight, slow and thin, Like breath on a window trying to step in No secrets in my pockets, no promises to break, Just the hush of favor when two people awake A ribbon of dawn, a shy shining sky, Kept the silent practice to see things pass by Now the silence feels nearer, a place I can give, A small plain of waiting where a new thing might live I’m softened at the edges, ready for the light, A little less afraid of the coming night If somebody wanders through this hush and holds, I’ll answer with a heart turned from lead to gold Moonlight washes the memories of lows, And something gentle lifts where the evening goes I’ll stay to listen, breathe slow, and see, If love arrives, I’ll meet it quietly Track from the upcoming album "Black Swan"
