You are the echo at the bottom of my Spotify playlist, The song I forgot to delete but skip immediately, Because it hurts too much to listen to. You are the echo of a story not told by me, Twisting each time it is retold, Less true each time, less you. You exist as an echo in my fading memories, Vanishing, tarnishing,...

He rose not on wings of silence, But engines forged in fire— Steel dreams and starlit visions, A man whom gods admire. Elon, the Architect of Futures, Builder of wheels and sky, Touched the moon with fingers bare, And taught machines to fly.
