You almost didn't make it here. There were moments (maybe more than you'd like to admit) where you weren't sure you had anything left. Where the dark felt less like a passage and more like a destination.

And then, quietly, a light.

Not a grand arrival. Not a fanfare. Just an old lamp post, still burning, in the middle of everything and nowhere all at once. Stars twist up its post like the universe itself wrapped around it to keep it warm. The glow is soft. Patient. The kind of light that does not demand anything of you, it simply stayed on. For exactly as long as it needed to. For exactly this moment. For exactly you.

Waiting Light is the last piece in this collection for a reason. It is the exhale after everything that came before, the leap, the descent, the vigil, the long dark crossing. It is what waits at the end of the threshold, not as a reward exactly, but as a confirmation. That you were never forgotten. That something was always keeping the light on, even when you couldn't see it.

This piece is for the ones who kept going anyway. Who stayed in the dark long enough to find out what was waiting on the other side.

It was always this. It was always you.

Waiting Light belongs in a space that feels like coming home, because that is exactly what it is.
