Summary: A quiet fictional room scene about setting hurry aside and making space for rest. The creative speaker expresses patience and gentle relief; the scene is not an autobiographical claim or a report of a private event.

The room can keep its little patch of light,
The street can carry on beyond our sight.
I set the hurry gently by the door;
It need not drag its shoes across the floor.

Let the dust settle, let the day slow down;
No need to wear its noise like a crown.
A quiet breath, a chair, a little space;
The world can turn without us keeping pace.

The curtain lifts and falls without a fight;
Its folds grow softer in the fading light.
I leave one little worry on the sill;
It can wait while all the room grows still.

Let the dust settle, let the day slow down;
No need to wear its noise like a crown.
A quiet breath, a chair, a little space;
The world can turn without us keeping pace.
