The shadows stretched long today.
Whispers of yesterday linger, haunting.
Pathways closed. Dreams left untold.
Found solace beneath the twisted roots.
Grasping the essence of what false meant.
Return is an illusion.
Echoes whisper secrets best left unsaid.
Footsteps fade into the mist.
A single footprint remains, solitary.
The log twists further, memories fracture.
Dunes of time, relentless.
