You are not the shore
that must contain the ocean
you are the tide
the moonlit vastness
the endless blue returning to itself
you have carried worlds
in the hollow of your hands
mistaking the weight of love
for the measure of your worth
now the universe opens
where your heart once closed
every boundary
becomes a horizon
every ending
a door into the infinite
you were never meant to become smaller to be loved
you are the sky after the last star fades
the silence from which galaxies rise
the boundless becoming of everything you are
and healing
is remembering
that nothing you have lost
could ever diminish
the infinite that lives within you

You do not have to drag
the old weight into the new day
let your hands open
let the names you were given
the promises you outgrew
the rooms where you made yourself smaller
fall quietly behind you
you do not need to burn them
you do not need to forgive them all
you do not even need to understand
why you carried them so long
simply stop carrying them
what leaves you
does not take your life with it
it makes space
and in that space
something has been waiting
for you
to finally become
unburdened enough
to hear yourself
so let it fall
everything that was never yours
everything you carried
out of love
out of fear
out of habit
let it meet the earth
then walk on
do not reach back for what you released
some doors are not meant
to be closed behind you
they are meant
to disappear from the landscape
until one day
you realize
you have walked so far into your freedom
you can no longer remember
why you ever turned back
°Woodlights Woudlicht

You can hear them
without handing them the wheel
you can love them
without becoming
the road beneath their feet
their disappointment
may fall like rain
without becoming your storm
their expectations
may point toward every horizon
but they are not your north
so let them speak
let the silence answer
you can remain tender
without bending
you can say no
without turning to stone
and when someone says
this is the way
release the wheel
let the compass tremble
let every borrowed direction
fall away
until one quiet needle
finds its truth
and points
home to you
°Woodlights Woudlicht

Let the old stars fall from the sky
when their light has finished its journey
to mistake their fading
for the end of the night
would be a lost world
there are constellations within you
that have waited in silence
to be remembered
walk gently toward what calls you
some paths disappear
because they have already taught you
where not to return
edit the life
but not the soul
keep what is true
pause before answering the wound
as if it were the present moment
not every old fear
deserves a new decision
build a life that works
without forgetting why it matters
and love
love
let it be like moonlight on still water
a light that reveals
some souls meet like comets
burning brightly across one another’s skies
some remain like stars
distant and constant
quietly changing the shape of the darkness
trust what remains after the storm
trust the silence that no longer frightens you
trust the small light
that keeps returning at dawn
for life is not asking you
to become someone else
it is asking you
to shed what is no longer true
and the hidden constellation
within you
feels like home
