she meets her own gaze,
framed by quiet light,
neither judging
nor turning away.

the mirror holds no answers,
only reflection —
clear,
honest,
still.

breath slows,
hands steady,
and the room listens
without interruption.

“真” speaks of truth,
not declared aloud,
but recognized
in silence.

watercolor softens the edges,
allowing what is real
to appear gently,
without disguise.

perhaps the deepest truth
is not something we seek,
but something
we finally allow ourselves to see.
