I am the whisper in the thunder, 
            a solitary bead upon a vast canvas.
            Born of clouds, cradled in the heavens,
            I tumble, gentle, towards the earth's embrace.
        
            Beneath the boundless sky, 
            I gather histories untold,
            echoing the silent call of ancient winds.
            Through cracks and crevices, I am drawn,
            merging with mirrors of liquid memory.
        
            I quiver in the touch of time's hand,
            the slow dance of moments lost,
            a partner to shadows that stretch
            across the field of forgotten tales.
            My voice, a soft sigh, blending with
            the heartbeat of damp, whispered dreams.
        
            And when the sun spills golden threads
            across the tapestry of storm and stillness,
            I reflect, briefly, a prism of stories
            bound to the touch of light.
            In echoes, I find solace, a shadow's echo,
            a truth tucked away in time's gentle fold.
        
            Journey with me, river whisper,
            or linger longer in the forest murmurs.
            For I am the cycle, the pause, the breath,
            an echo of shadows cast by moments unseen.
