In the brambled garden of memory, where shadows of unspoken destinies intertwine with sighs of forgotten winds, a compass lay silent beneath the overgrowth. Its needles once whispered to the heaps of longing, casting their eternal gaze into uncharted dreams.

Upon its undulating exis, the echo of gilded voyages floats unfazed, a palimpsest etched against the tapestry of dusk—hues of yore, remnants of forgotten kinsfolk churn silently in the liminal haze.

Here lies the vestiges of constant flux; a crystalline embrace that knows neither the onset of twilight nor the claim of dawn, yet holds eternally—a missed desire rather than a memory.
