Empty Spaces Hold Potential

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

I entered the quiet gallery where walls were blank and thoughts drifted like dust motes in a sunrise. Each empty corner pulsed with unspoken stories, as if the void itself were a vessel waiting to be filled. I traced the faint outlines of moves left unplayed upon an empty board, feeling the potential coil around each missing piece. The silence spoke louder than any note, and I realized that absence is not emptiness but a canvas for imagination.
