There is a sadness that is born from deep knowledge
There is a sadness that is born from deep knowledge,
like a shadow slipping through the cracks of the soul,
a sadness that whispers the world is not a fairy tale, but a mosaic of fleeting moments,
where dreams unravel like grains of sand between weary fingers.
It is the melancholy of one who understands life is not a triumphant march,
but a succession of ephemeral moments, like the silent murmur of leaves in the wind,
and love, a fragile story, an illusion that dissolves in the morning light,
leaving behind only silence and the echo of a passing memory.
Happiness, that rare spark, a glimmer piercing the darkness for a moment,
but extinguishing quickly, leaving behind an unfulfilled desire, an unfinished dream,
and in this understanding, a deep loneliness grows, an ocean of silence,
a rupture from the world, from others, from your hidden and lost self.
This knowledge transforms us into floating islands,
in a universe of silence, where only thoughts remain as companions,
and in this quiet, a longing is born, a thirst to find something that cannot be found,
a call to the edge of the horizon, where shadows become dreams and dreams become shadows.
