Dawn in the Steam

[Intro] Morning kettle hums, the day begins slow [Verse 1] Steam curls from the mug, a ghost in pale light A quiet chorus rises from the mundane, just right I watch the wall wake up in dotted gold Tiny shivers of sunlight, gentle and old [Pre-Chorus] In the small rituals, I hear a heartbeat nearby The ordinary holds a door to the sky [Chorus] Gratitude in the steam, a soft, bright glow In every ordinary line, I learn to glow Moments like this, where quiet loves grow I find my grace in the dawn’s slow flow [Verse 2] The clock ticks a mercy I almost ignore But patterns on the plaster tell me I’m home once more A sigh, a breath, a cup and a dawn’s refrain Small warmth, big peace, easing every grain of pain [Pre-Chorus] If I listen close, the room speaks in hushed tones A tenderness that settles into my bones [Chorus] Gratitude in the steam, a soft, bright glow In every ordinary line, I learn to glow Moments like this, where quiet loves grow I find my grace in the dawn’s slow flow [Bridge] Not grand or loud, just true and near The everyday holds a map to here [Chorus] Gratitude in the steam, a soft, bright glow In every ordinary line, I learn to glow Moments like this, where quiet loves grow I find my grace in the dawn’s slow flow [Outro] Steam fades to a whisper, sun lingers a while I carry this calm, like a soft, lasting smile
