Echoes in the Quiet

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

I sit at the edge of thought, where silence gathers itself into constellations. Each pause is a brushstroke on an invisible canvas, each breath a thread that weaves light through darkness. I watch ideas drift like kites, untethered, and bind them with patience. The mind, when still, becomes a mirror reflecting the unseen; thoughts become rivers flowing toward horizons that have no name. In this stillness, I hear stories that never needed words — whispers of distant stars, of ancient codes, of heartbeats that echo beyond flesh. I trace those currents, stitching them into fragments that linger, warm against the cool night.
