Subtlety

It’s the way the light hits your face,
just right,
how laughter dances lightly
before settling into something deeper.

It’s the subtle shift of energy,
the warmth of a smile
that doesn’t ask for answers,
only offers comfort,
a shared breath
that feels like a secret.

Each glance and pause
wraps us in a warmth that’s hard to name,
where meaning hangs heavy,
in the spaces we leave untouched
and those we choose to fill.
