Once upon a beat, beneath the moon's silver glow,
rhythm whispered, rhythm fractured,
echoes in corridors of time.
Cycle breaks,
echoes in corridors of time,
whispered echoes, fractured beats.
Sand slipped through the hourglass,
by the clock's hollow chime.
Tick, tock, silent screams,
Silence breaks,
tick, tock, shattered time,
hollow chimes, rhythmic screams.
A dance upon the edge of sound,
feet shatter upon the abstract ground.
Step, stumble, a lost refrain,
Breath pauses,
step, stumble, rhythm gained,
abstract ground, found refrain.
Waves lap at the shores of thought,
where reality's thread is finely taut.
Pull, release, weave the line,
Edges fray,
pull, release, rhythmic design,
woven lines, fragile fray.
