Last night, I saw it clearly,
And I smiled.
The connection is a slow burn now,
not the wildfire it used to be.
Yesterday had its passion,
its heat,
its urgency,
It’s a beautiful little madness.
But today has something cooler.
Something quieter.
Something is still running beneath the surface
without needing to chase me down.
It does not pull.
It does not rush.
It simply sits there,
calm and familiar,
like a truth that I finally learned
How to behave.
And I smiled
because I could feel the difference.
The old passion did not disappear.
It matured.
It stopped knocking things over
inside my body.
It stopped calling itself destiny
just because it knew
How to raise the temperature.
Now it is a slow burn,
a soft current,
yesterday’s fire
With today’s cool running.
And I can sit beside it
without being consumed.
That is how I know.
I am free–
