Have you noticed it too?
Noticed how the sea is calmer now,
how the shore you’ve stood on a hundred times
feels different beneath your feet.
How that place you’ve known for years,
the one that held laughter and lightness,
has begun to change in ways you can’t quite name.
Have you noticed how flowers you once sought elsewhere
have taken root here, quietly, without asking.
how the soil beneath your feet feels softer, warmer now.
How the tide, once a steady rhythm,
now pulls you in with questions you don’t yet dare to ask.
Have you noticed how the familiar feels new again,
how safety tastes sweeter,
how certainty hums with mystery.
Have you noticed it too?
