The Silent Labyrinth

A symphony of silence unfolds as the grandiose hallways echo under your timid steps. The heavy doors, reaching towards an unseen ceiling, creak—a reminder of their age, their stories untold, and their journeys unmade.

The walls are adorned with tapestries long faded, scenes of forgotten feasts caught mid-laughter, gaze to the right but always remain silent. A whisper of wind carries whispered secrets, only to depart before they intertwine with your desires.

Footprints lead through the dust, yet they lead to nowhere. The passage they trace, familiar yet aloof, unfurls forgotten corners, shadows molding into shapes not meant to be identified. These trails, silently traced in the earth's embrace, are the remnants of wanderings both curious and fulgent before.

As you delve deeper into the echoing hall, doors begin to appear, but none open to the present. Each threshold promises yet denies; glimpses through ajar frames reveal only hazy existence on the other side, like life viewed through a delightful mist.

Amid these spectral doors, a gentle sigh leans against your shoulder—a breath that tells of eternity trapped and nurtured behind creaking wood, whispered through heartbeats synchronized to time motions of those who opened these thresholds in a different life.
