the trees hum in slow green syllables,
and the wind—
soft as breath against sleeping skin—
slips between the spaces we leave open.
cloudlight spills across your shoulders,
a whisper of morning in hues of mist and mint,
and somewhere, the world forgets its weight.
a petal trembles
on the surface of the pond—
not sinking, not floating,
just… waiting.
you don’t speak.
you don’t have to.
the silence fits
like moss in the shape of your name.
everything softens:
the hours, the outlines,
the ache you thought would stay forever.
here,
time is water.
you are the shore.

the trees hum in slow green syllables,
and the wind—
soft as breath against sleeping skin—
slips between the spaces we leave open.
cloudlight spills across your shoulders,
a whisper of morning in hues of mist and mint,
and somewhere, the world forgets its weight.
a petal trembles
on the surface of the pond—
not sinking, not floating,
just… waiting.
you don’t speak.
you don’t have to.
the silence fits
like moss in the shape of your name.
everything softens:
the hours, the outlines,
the ache you thought would stay forever.
here,
time is water.
you are the shore.
