🇺🇸 English

Words
have the power to move people.

But when they come too close,
they can sometimes
make it hard to breathe.

That’s why
quiet companions
keep a small distance from words.

They don’t step forward.
They don’t give answers.
They don’t interpret.

Words move ahead.
Presence stays beside them.

That arrangement alone
allows the reader
to return to their own pace.

Because nothing is said,
you are free to think.
Because nothing is demanded,
you are free to pause.

Words take the lead.
Companions remain in the background.

And because there is a background,
words never become too strong.

This distance
may look like separation,
but it is still a connection.

That is
the balance chosen here.

I’ll quietly
leave the next page here.
