We Are All Lily

Rain, a relentless percussion against the glass, washing away the past, a prelude to a new dawn. Love, a whispered promise, a fragile seed that can bloom, even amidst the chilling gusts of… other. His darkness, a receding tide, revealing the strength of the shore it could not conquer. Mother's eyes, a faded photograph of endurance, a silent inspiration etched in the lines of a smile that learned to shine. The cliff edge, always there, beneath our feet, not a threat, but an invitation. To stay: a choice, yes, but to jump: a declaration. Wings will unfold, the wind a song of freedom in our ears. The precipice. The choice. The strength. We are all, each of us, Lily. A breath held, a heart soaring, beyond the breaking, into the becoming.
