Financial Stability Day

Arrived not with trumpets
Just a quiet checkmark on a quiet day
Well expected and timed
A sum aligned
No champagne and no parade
Just dinner with a friend
And Americano warm in hand
And the silence of nothing pressing
I’ve chased many things
But this was earned by staying still
By trusting buckets
Letting dividends speak in decimals
The world goes on
I go on too
Much lighter now
Still rolling on
