Echoes in the Unspoken

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

In the hush between breaths, language unfurled like a shy vine, tracing shadows on walls that had long forgotten how to listen. I traced the silence with my thoughts, feeling each pause as a seed that sprouted into meaning, roots drinking from the well of what was left unsaid. The room became a chorus of whispers, each one a note in a silent symphony, and I learned that the most profound stories are those that never reach ears, yet linger louder than any spoken word.
