Embraced Shadows
As twilight gripped the earth with velvet fingers, beyond vision's shadowy breadth lanterns dwindled into silent frost. Whispers, anonymous and fleeting, sketched fears into the cold night's canvas.
Walk the earth, it begs, beneath dripping constellations of fragmented yearning.
They dreamed of hidden corridors not yet woven at the fabric's disquieted edges.
The rooks watch quietly, plotting celestial crossings.
