Gentle Dark

Night wraps around us, but it is not the end,
just a softer room to lay our worries down,
We walk out of this call with pockets full of tiny sparks,
Until we meet again, let the dark be gentle,
And let every quiet corner hide one more reason to stay.

The lights go low, the mics go mute, but this is not goodbye,
Just a pause where hearts catch up to what our mouths just said,
If the dark feels heavy later, remember these voices,
You were not alone tonight and you are not alone after.

We close this room, but not the road between us,
Screens dim, hearts don’t,
If the night leans in a little too close,
lean back on what you heard here,
Tomorrow is already walking toward you, one small step at a time.
