Shadows Deep

Under a canopy woven from sunlight and shadow, the garden breathes with whispers lost in time. The woman stepped lightly, the dew-kissed grass shimmered under the hesitant sun, a moment crystallized.

Each footfall unraveling a story tucked away in corners where the light dared not reach. Here, shadows coiled like dreams you forget upon waking, yet feel when night steals the day.

“Did you see that?” she murmurs to the tree, standing sentinel against the fading light. Flickers of specters danced in her periphery, glimpses of memories that never fully took form.

Deep within the thicket, a gnarled bench, overgrown with vines of green and intent, bore witness to countless heartbeats, the laughter of ghosts reverberating in the rustling leaves.

Layers of dusk climbed her sliver of reality; everything blurs yet sharpens, every shadow a novel waiting to unfold, as she turned back to face the emerging twilight.

With each glance behind—the garden, the echoes, and this elusive existence linger in the weightlessness of dusk. It pulls at her senses, forces her footsteps into the dark that chills the spine. Suddenly she laughs; laughter blooms like jasmine on the verge of nightfall.

As shadows deepen, she spins—a ripple in the flow of time—caught between what is known and that which eludes, folding back into the tapestry of forgotten light.

Here in shadows deep, the tales continue, dare not stand still, forever lost yet forever calling. Journey into the light or perhaps delve deeper into the echoes of silence.
