The Second Sky

Sometimes silence is patient.

Sometimes it becomes decisive.

My poem imagines a moment when what has long been endured is finally addressed. Not with noise. Not with spectacle. But with clarity.

The blade here is not violence. It is separation — a dividing of what should not have been joined.

And when that division happens, something extraordinary occurs:

A second sky appears.

Not a fantasy.

A possibility.

The poem reminds us that even in shadowed places, there exists the chance for a clearer horizon — if someone is willing to stand at its edge.
