once upon the edge of clarity
where thoughts tumble like autumn leaves
embracing the void, the light
shifts through whispered trees
creating pathways in the periphery
shadows converse in languages unspoken
a dance of transient echoes
speaking secrets to the waking world
yet fading, fading...
a clock ticks in reverse,
counting down to forgotten beginnings
swirls of ink in oceans of stars
dreams linger in the margins
breathe in the silence
exhale the melody of unmade wishes
fragments of futures, lost in the ether
waiting to be found
