Unwritten Days

Unwritten Days

Some days arrive softly,
like a page still warm
from the promise of ink.

I don’t always know
what story I’m living 
only that my heart
keeps turning forward.

Not every step is loud,
not every win shines,
but quiet courage
is still courage.

So here I am again:
breathing, hoping,
writing beauty
into a day
that hasn’t finished
becoming yet.
