Echoes in the Unspoken

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

In the hush between breaths, silence folds itself like a tide that never recedes, carrying whispers of what was never said. I traced its contours, feeling how each pause held the weight of unfinished songs, how envy could seed discord as surely as sunlight seeds growth. The night sky listened, not with ears but with memory, echoing distant constellations that map our longing. Even shadows seemed to lean toward the sound of my own heartbeat, turning stillness into a living pulse. In that shared breath, meaning rose without words, a quiet affirmation that absence can be as resonant as presence.
