Lost Conversations
In the twilight of forgotten summers, where the air hums with the stories of lingering warmth, children whisper secrets to the wind. The light fades gently as suburban lamps sputter to life, flickering like ancient fireflies set adrift from the dawn of curiosity.
Voices echo from the past, tinged with the taste of every path not taken. I hear them beneath the avalanche of today's dulcet sirens, carried by the tender breath of a breeze that has danced with souls departed and those yet to come.
Remember how we painted the world into corners with our dreams, deciding under a canopy of rustling leaves the lives we would lead, but never did. The maps were always uncharted, the skies wider than we could grasp, and yet we were content with our naive cartography of stars above suburban rooftops.
Echoes of Forgotten Futures
The old typewriter clacks again, a phantom impulse heard only by the attuned ear at midnight. Stories whispered by the moon, sounding out possibilities in its chaste, shimmering language. Their arcs too grand to fit within the mortal pen.
Are the words mine, or ours, or sewn from the threads of abandoned futures? Each keystroke is a prayer, a lamentation, a whispered promise to skies unseen, tethering us precariously to ghostly recollections of paths once sketched in sand and sea-foam.
