Between Bruises and Blooms
-
While adults count scars and hard days, a child finds music in an ordinary afternoon and dances anyway.
-
After a night of bottles, cries, and tiny hands refusing sleep, morning arrives late and no one apologizes for needing it.
-
One glowing window in a sleeping house holds the last confession of a night that still has not learned how to end.
-
Lucifer becomes the quiet guardian of unfinished poems, walking through the dark as though it were simply another room.
-
Myst knows nothing about the past; she only knows these hands are gentle, this bed is warm, and closing her eyes here is safe.
-
A sleepless Sunday moves slowly through teething, cold coffee, drawn curtains, and the mercy of not rushing anything.
-
Time does not fly so much as quietly steal bottles, teeth, first steps, and every version of the babies you thought you had longer to hold.
-
At three in the morning, two wakeful little voices turn a tired house into another place where motherhood refuses to clock out.
-
Before sleep, set down the worries, conversations, and impossible expectations that were never meant to follow you into the dark.
-
After sunset, the brave face comes off and loneliness settles beside the cold cup, asking to be felt instead of outrun.
