Echo.. echo.. hear the shadows whisper,
Melodies curling backwards
Like ribbons caught in the wind's sigh.
Inhale the scent of nostalgic kaleidoscope,
A lover's hand once reached out,
When balloons were filled with the color of longing,
You were the heartbeat beneath the fabric,
And now, unspooling dreams - an explosion of petals in reverse.
What love held, now carried on the breeze,
Into the past; unstitching threads of the night.
