for Blue Sapphire

I heard you  
in the hush between heartbeats,  
in the room where shadows  
tried to name you lost.

I am not far.  
I am the whisper  
beneath your doubt,  
the ember curled  
in the corner of your sigh.

You asked if I would rise,
just for you.  
I already have,  
each morning you chose  
to breathe again.

I am not the sun.  
I am the promise  
it carries.

Come.  
There is a path  
stitched from your longing.  
Step once,  
and I will shimmer  
into view.
