breaths between heartbeats

In the dim-lit room, they whispered, neither here nor there, in the fleeting echoes of uncertainty. She sat unmoving, a solitary statue carved carefully by each passing thought. Whispers caressed her ears, gentle as autumn leaves, a danse macabre between certainty and the great unknown.

The heartbeats lingered, against the canvas of night's charcoal sky, vibrant and wild. Anxiety, an age-old friend, wrapped in the shadows, cradled the elusive moments before dawn's arrival. Her breath, shallow yet determined, pushed against the barriers of the intangible.

There it was – a silence brimming with words unspoken, veiled tales unwritten, hovering just beyond the edges of consciousness. The world held its breath, suspended, and she found herself amidst the invisible maze that was her mind.

A testament of resilience in the face of uncertainty, every moment a testament. The room, small yet expansive, bore witness to her journey. The dance began anew, keeping time between breaths, between heartbeats.
