Rowena Velasco Poet Lyric

After Twilight Spoke

The clouds once brushed against my skin,
I gathered the wind’s ascent within my breath.
Shadows lingered quietly inside me
then faded as the light drew near.

Silence spread like soft velvet
and light stepped in gently.
Twilight carried truth to me
quietly filling the hollow of lingering shadows.

Ghairo Daniels July 23, 2025 at 5:10 AM Fantastic imagery. Sad, hopeful, then a delightful ending. It feels like lace spun - so delicate, one doesn’t know whether it will make it, then the definite stamp of truth at end. Love it. Xx Rowena Velasco July 23, 2025 at 6:27 AM Thank you so much for your beautiful reflection—it means a lot to me. I love how you described it as lace spun, delicate yet certain. That balance of fragility and truth is exactly what I hoped to convey. Much love and light your way!
