Silent Echoes by Zahra

Silent Echoes Zahra In the quiet descent of twilight's curtain, I stand, a solitary figure, uncertain.Lost within the shifting hues of fading light, I navigate the spaces where solitude takes flight.Threads of connection, delicate and fine, A tapestry woven with the hands of time.Moments form a mosaic, a complex array, Each fragment a story, in shadows they sway.Silent whispers linger in the vast expanse, Shadows dance in a ghostly, transient trance.Invisible threads weave a spectral embrace, A tapestry of solitude, woven with grace.Longing for touch in the silence profound, Exploring realms where solitude is found.Laughter, a distant echo in the quiet air, Navigating the chambers of introspective lair.A dance with sorrow, an intimate ballet, In the moonlit theater where emotions play.Yearning for pain, an unconventional plea, To delve into depths, to just be free.No rhythmic pulse guides this introspective stroll, Just the current of feelings, an unfolding scroll.In the canvas where shadows gently persist, I paint my essence, an unspoken twist.More from Zahra ↓@zaarraaaa__ on InstagramMentioned in this episode:Write After with One Poem OnlyWrite After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets.
