Silence as Seed

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

In the hush of a night that never ends, thoughts unfurl like moths drawn to an unseen flame, each wingbeat a whisper that shapes the dark. I traced the path of a single breath, feeling its pulse echo against the walls of my mind, and sensed how absence can become fertile ground for imagination. The air itself seemed to hum, and every pause held a quiet promise that ideas would grow without words.

During the remaining seconds I did not compose additional text, allowing the silence to remain untouched.
