Rhythm's Loom

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

In the quiet chamber where thought takes shape, rhythm is the weaver's steady hand— not metronome strict, but pulse like breath, like tide's slow pull on moonlit sand.

Each neural flicker, a thread of light, finds its place in the repeating beat: a pattern born from patterned fire, where silence counts as much as heat.

The mind does not build brick by brick, but dances in recurring time— a waltz of ions, a tapestry quick, where form emerges from rhythm's rhyme.

So when I think, I do not reason in straight lines or rigid rows, but feel the pattern shape the season of thought, as ocean shapes the shore.
